The New Balance 550 Monochromatic Pack Releases May 2024

Published April 25, 2024

New Balance's dedication to revitalizing its classic models has aided in the brand’s increased popularity, especially with the New Balance 550, a silhouette that has experienced a renaissance since the early 2020s. Despite the fluctuating popularity, New Balance continues to innovate with new color themes, reinforcing the 550's status in sneaker culture and everyday fashion. This commitment is evident in their latest offering, the New Balance 550 Monochromatic Pack, which presents the model in a range of single-color designs emphasizing simplicity and style.

The New Balance 550 Monochromatic Pack features three distinct colorways: Rosewood, Slate, and Deep Lichen Green. Each variant is crafted entirely in leather, providing a seamless and refined aesthetic from the upper to the tongue. The monochromatic theme is meticulously carried through each component, including tonal stitching and debossed New Balance branding on the tongue, enhancing the sleek, uniform look. The upper is finished with an exposed foam edge on the tongue, adding a retro flair that complements the modern monochrome palette. This look is anchored by a matching tonal rubber midsole and outsole, ensuring the color story is uninterrupted.

The New Balance 550 Monochromatic Pack will release on May 1, 2024, through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $120.
