In line with the industry’s trend of formulating low-top counterparts to the NBA and college games’ widely-adorned on-court toolings, the New Balance 550 was born. Sewn from the hardwood in 1989, the once 20th-century relic has been reinvigorated by the Boston-based brand for a routine slate of expansive color blockings. Recently, the basketball oxford dressed in a crisp white outfit accentuated by a “Grey Toe”.
Similar to its January 16th colorless cleanup, the latest employment of the Steven Smith design renders bright white color matches across the entirety of the pair’s leather and nylon real estate. Whereas the sole unit underfoot transitions to more of an “Off-White” tint, the mudguard differentiates itself in both tone and texture, composing a nubuck grey toe cap to accent the near triple white composition.
Tentatively scheduled to release in March, enjoy official images of the New Balance 550 “Grey Toe” below while we await further release details in the meantime.
