A new iteration of one of New Balance‘s, most popular models, the 550, has surfaced, this time releasing in a USA-friendly colorway.

The patriotic-themed pair is constructed in a mostly-white leather upper, featuring mesh tongues and ankle colors. Navy blue suede highlights the overlays up front on the toebox and in the rear heel. Hints of black leather accents are seen on the collar while pops of red are displayed on the rubber outsole to complete the USA colorway. The shoe sits atop a tri-color, white, grey and red outsole to round out the design.

Look out for the new pair of New Balance 550 releasing in the coming months online at New Balance for $110 USD.
