The original 550s debuted in 1989 and left their mark on the basketball courts from coast to coast. After their initial tirage, the 550s stayed in the archives, before being reintroduced in limited editions in late 2020 and returning in full in 2021, quickly becoming a worldwide fashion favorite. The low-top, aerodynamic silhouette of the 550 offers a simple approach to the heavy designs of the late 80s, while the robust leather upper construction is a classic of any era.
