The New Balance 550, originally debuting in 1989, is a low-top sneaker that made its mark on basketball courts before being reintroduced to the market in limited releases in late 2020 and returning to the full-time lineup in 2021. Its streamlined silhouette offers a clean take on the heavy-duty designs of the late '80s, quickly becoming a global fashion favorite. This iteration, the 'Sea Salt / Concrete' (BB550VGB), revives the vintage aesthetic with modern updates.
