New Balance continues to add more tonal updates to the signature 550 sneaker model and the latest to join is a White Gum colorway update. The shoe has been previously seen in a Black Gum option and this iteration highlights an all-white look throughout the upper.
The construction highlights a blend of mesh, leather, and suede with suede making up the paneling details. The laces are finished in a tonal look as well, continuing to the rest of the branding on the tongue and insole. The lateral side of the shoe is marked with the N logo branding and the 550 logo. All of this sits on top of a gum rubber outsole design to round it all out.
