A basketball sneaker featuring an “N” on the side isn’t what you’d typically expect from a Boston brand. However, the New Balance 550 is definitely one to keep an eye on.
This low-top sneaker boasts a clean vintage aesthetic, crafted from leather and perforated leather. Apart from the “N”, sneaker enthusiasts can identify the 550 by its unique toebox design, which signifies it’s a New Balance sneaker. Originally launched in 1989, it made a comeback in 2020 without any changes.
To emphasize its retro vibe, the midsole has a vintage appearance and is presented in a cream shade. The color accents on the padding, lining, and outsole add a nice, understated touch to the 550.
