The New Balance 550 returns in a sandy colorway.

The New Balance 550 has been one of the top sneakers over the last 5 years. It has become a modern classic, combining modern sneakers with retro aesthetics. People love the sneaker for its sleek and functional design. Also, the upper, composed of a blend of leather, suede, and mesh, delivers a luxurious appearance and ensures years of durable usage. The New Balance 550 is one of the top sneakers in the world right now, and it definitely seems like it will stay that way.

Like many popular kicks that were designed with basketball players in mind, the New Balance 550 was first dropped in the late 1980s with hoopers in mind. They were originally released in 1989 under the model name “P550 Basketball Oxford”. They were made by the legendary basketball shoe designer, Steve Smith. The 550 was created with hardwood being the main focus instead of simply fashion. Now they are a fashion staple and have gone totally mainstream as just about everybody owns a pair.

This colorway is one of the cleanest that we have seen from New Balance. It features white and tan shades throughout and creates a cohesive look. The sturdy sole is a tan rubber and the midsole is a lighter tan. Tan suede overlays complete the sneaker which has a white leather base. Also, other tan-colored accents can be found on the sneakers with the "N" logo, the 550 logos, and the New Balance basketball logo on the tongues. The sneaker will definitely be a fan favorite. Finally, this colorway will continue to put the New Balance 550 on top of current fashionable sneakers.
