New Balance continues to expand its retro basketball low-top lineup with a crisp, new iteration. After the release of the New Balance 550 in “Black Gum”, the silhouette arrives in an all-white colorway.

The offering sees the shoe come constructed in a mixture of materials including leather, mesh and suede. The suede highlights the paneling while the “N” and 550 logos on the lateral are seen on the upper. The entirety of the shoe sits atop a gum rubber outsole to round out the design.

Take a look above at the official images of the New Balance 550 “White Gum” set to release in select retailers and on New Balance for $110 USD.

In case you missed it, AMBUSH x Nike Air Adjust Force “University Blue” and “Light Madder Root” have received a release date.
