The New Balance 550 has emerged as a beacon of style in the sneaker world, thanks mainly to its vintage charm and modern appeal. Designed by Steven Smith in the ‘80s, this silhouette has been a key player in New Balance's recent surge in popularity, appealing to both fashion enthusiasts and sneakerheads alike. With a legacy rooted in basketball but now celebrated on the streets, the 550 continues to captivate with its timeless design and fresh colorways. March 2024 is set to welcome a new addition to the 550 family with the women's exclusive Salt Marsh Limelight colorway, adding a vibrant touch to the spring sneaker rotation.
This latest rendition maintains the classic New Balance 550 aesthetics with a white leather construction, the perfect canvas for the lively salt marsh and limelight accents. Green hues delicately weave through the design, adorning the iconic "N" logo, 550 branding, and the ripstop nylon collar with a rich depth of color. Contrasting volt details on the tongue tag, collar overlay, and piping add a bright, eye-catching element that elevates the sneaker's overall look. The harmonious blend of greens against the crisp white leather creates a visually appealing, refreshing, versatile palette. Completing the design is the clean white midsole and outsole, ensuring the focus remains on the vibrant upper.
The New Balance 550 Salt Marsh Limelight will release on March 2, 2024, through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. Available exclusively in women’s sizing, the retail price is set at $110.
