The original 550 debuted in 1989 and made its mark on basketball courts from coast to coast. After its initial run, the 550 was filed away in the archives, before being reintroduced in limited-edition releases in late 2020, and returned to the full-time lineup in 2021, quickly becoming a global fashion favorite. The 550’s low top, streamlined silhouette offers a clean take on the heavy-duty designs of the late ‘80s, while the dependable synthetic suede upper construction is a classic look in any era. The Sea Salt Pack Marsh Green New Balance 550 offers a modern interpretation of classic basketball shoes by combining clean color tones with an age-old design. This low-top sneaker stands out with its Marsh Green accents against a crisp white base. The Sea Salt Pack Marsh Green 550 iteration features a leather upper in a Sea Salt white tone with Marsh Green detailing on the heel tab, "N" branding, and outsole. The shoe has perforated panels for breathability, a sturdy rubber sole, and a lace-up closure for a secure fit​. New Balance branding is on the sole, with a marsh green "550" on the upper below the laces. One thing we, the experts, like about the Sea Salt Pack Marsh Green New Balance 550 is the leather upper's perforated texture, which adds design depth. Another is the Marsh Green accents on the white and cream base. This sneaker retailed for $110 when it was released on May 24, 2024.
