The original 550s debuted in 1989 and made their mark on basketball courts nationwide. After an initial reissue, the 550s remained in the archives before being reintroduced in limited editions in late 2020 and returning in full in 2021, quickly becoming a global fashion favorite. The low-top, streamlined silhouette of the 550 offers a modest take on the bulky designs of the late '80s, while the robust leather upper construction is a timeless classic.
