With the new 550 silhouette, New Balance introduces a hi-top counterpart to the wildly popular 550. While 1980s on-court design combined supportive features with epic proportions, the 550 offers a streamlined, ready to wear look. A classic, leather upper is bolstered with a puff and stitch collar, for a subtle reinterpretation of molded foam construction, while a raw edged leather eyerow applies the shoe’s elevated construction to every level of detail.
