New Balance 550
The New Balance 550 revival is one of fashion's best comeback stories. Originally from 1989, this basketball shoe was resurrected by Aimé Leon Dore and became the sneaker every fashion person bought. The chunky retro silhouette with a perforated leather upper is perfectly timeless. It pairs with everything from tailored trousers to baggy jeans. The white/green, white/navy, and white/grey colorways are the most versatile. The quality for the price is excellent — genuine leather, solid construction. Comfort is good out of the box and improves with break-in. True to size for most people. The NB branding is subtle enough for the "anti-Nike" crowd but recognizable to sneaker culture. A modern classic.
