The 550 has been completely dominating the sneaker game over the past few months, but unbeknownst to many, the silhouette actually debuted back in the ‘80s during the boom of basketball. Renowned for its vintage styling, colorways like the New Balance 550 "White Nightwatch Green" fully embrace this retro aesthetic.
Crafted from panels of white leather, this 550 looks like it’s been pulled right out of the Boston brand’s archives. Perforations adorn the toe box and sides for better breathability, and bold nightwatch green accents give this sneaker vintage varsity jacket vibes. A glossy “N” logo is finely inlaid across the laterals and medials, and this has been highlighted with a vibrant yellow outline for another pop of contrast that is sure to turn heads, both on the court and on the street.
The New Balance 550 White Nightwatch Green is set it to release on October 6th, 2022 through Footlocker in men’s sizes for $110. It will be available at New Balance and select online and physical stockists at a later date, you really don’t want to miss out.
