New Balance 550 White Green

80s basketball silhouette

The New Balance 550 has returned from the brand's archives almost unchanged - it is still the same low-profile, flat basketball shoe, only now worn on the streets. The White Green version keeps the white leather upper as a backdrop and releases green only where it is meant to be visible: on the side panel, the N logo, and the sole. This makes the pair expressive but not loud - green works here as an accent, not as the main color.

What it's made of

• white leather upper with perforations
• green details on the side panel, N logo, and sole
• textile lining
• rubber outsole and lace-up closure

Perforations allow air to pass through, so the shoe can also be worn on warmer days. The rubber on the bottom provides grip both on the pavement and on smooth floors. White leather has one disadvantage and one advantage at the same time: dirt is visible immediately, but it comes off easier than from suede - we described how to take care of it in our cleaning guide.

How to choose your size

The sizing ranges from 36 to 46.5 with half sizes, so the model is fully unisex. The 550 fits classically and has a low profile at the ankle, making it easy to wear with any trousers. If you are comparing it with more elaborate models like the New Balance 991, the difference is simple: the 550 is flat and harder in its design, while the others are massive and soft. Measure your foot and check the size chart before choosing your number.
