New Balance's 550 is a contemporary version of an archival sneaker, the long-forgotten P550 that launched in 1989, and it has that classic, court-focused aesthetic we’re all familiar with. Take this pair – the uppers are cut from mixed materials and accented with hits of leopard print throughout, which includes everything from that raised ‘N’ at the sidewall to its chunky, two-tone sole unit.

Leather, synthetic fabric and mesh upper ensures durability and a sporty look. Rubber sole for grip and durability.
