The New Balance 550 ‘White Navy’ confers a simple two-tone palette to a vintage hoops shoe originally released in 1989.
The layered white leather upper is contrasted by a series of navy blue accents, highlighted by a raised ‘N’ logo and ‘550’ inscribed on the lateral forefoot.
Additional details include a breathable nylon tongue, padded textile collar and a suede forefoot overlay.
The sneaker’s retro tooling comprises a sturdy rubber cupsole with an exposed EVA wedge on the medial sidewall.
