The New Balance 550 Black Gum White channels a retro basketball feel from the 80s and boasts a black, gum, and white color combination.


The original New Balance 550 debuted in 1989 and was reintroduced with great fanfare and numerous colorways. This particular colorway features a tonal black upper that is made out of premium suede and leather. The suede appears on the toe guard and the heel counter, looking a bit distressed and giving the shoe a bit of edge. New Balance branding hits include the original capital letter ���N��� on the side panels, with other NB branding on the midsole, heel tab, and tongue. You���ll spot 550 in white on the lateral eyestay.


What we love about this shoe is its nod to the heavy basketball footwear designs of the past, yet it presents a fresh, streamlined aesthetic. This lends to its versatility as a being a performance shoe for on the court or a lifestyle shoe for athleisure looks.
