The New Balance 550 is arriving in yet another clean, two-toned iteration. The shoe continues to be a sought-after silhouette, hot off the collaborative releases from Joe Freshgood and Aimé Leon Dore.

This time, the highly popular shoe appears to take inspiration from the muted-Syracuse palette, arriving in orange-tan and brown undertones. The makeup of the shoe continues with its modern interpretation of the basketball sneakers, with the upcoming pair arriving in a white/smooth perforated base, with mesh collars seen on the tongue and heel. The toe box is elevated with suede for an accented detail, while the collars are emphasized in tan leather to match the side panels on the shoe. The New Balance “N” logo is highlighted in sail to round out the design.

The pair will be available for a raffle release on May 16, 2022 at 5 a.m. ET on A Few for approximatley $125 USD.
