The New Balance 550 Turtledove updates a classic basketball silhouette introduced in 1989 and dresses it in creamy shades that blend together to create a monochromatic sneaker that glides along with subtle style.The Turtledove / Angora colorway of the New Balance 550 features an upper of turtledove-colored mesh overlaid with soft Angora-colored leather, sporting microperforations on the side panel and across the vamp. Other leather overlays cover the toe cap, heel counter, and collar. Angora-colored laces cross over a turtledove mesh tongue adorned with an Angora-colored tongue patch. The two-toned matching rubber cupsole has a foam wedge on the medial side and sits atop a matching two-toned rubber outsole with a traction pattern comprising circles, ridges, and misshapen blocks.What we love most about this sneaker are the tonal hits of New Balance branding subtly placed across the sneaker. The classic side-panel N is cut out, the words "New Balance" appear embossed on the midsole and outsole, a flying NB appears on the midsole, heel counter, and insole, and a 550 is stamped on the vamp. The New Balance 550 Turtledove was released on April 6, 2023 for a retail price of $120.
