New Balance 550 White Black is a colourway from the New Balance 550 family. The White Black treatment changes the shoe mainly through colour, while the recognisable proportions and main family details remain the same. New Balance 550 follows the 1989 basketball low-top and retains its clean side panelling together with compact retro proportions. The padded collar helps maintain ankle comfort, the firm midsole creates a stable step and the rubber outsole supplies durable everyday traction.
