The New Balance 550 "Quarry Blue" is Available Now

The New Balance 550 is set to receive a fresh colorway that skillfully blends classic and contemporary elements. This new iteration, featuring a combination of White, NB Navy, and Quarry Blue, is a testament to New Balance's ability to reinvent its classics while continually staying true to its roots.

This version of the 550 returns to the traditional white leather construction that has been a hallmark of the silhouette. However, New Balance has creatively tweaked the design by shifting the typical suede overlays from the toe to the heel.

The key contrasting element in this colorway is the striking NB Navy. This deep, rich hue is used effectively throughout the sneaker, appearing in the mesh collars, suede midfoot motifs, liners, branding, and outsole. The dark navy provides a bold counterpoint to the clean white leather, adding depth and a touch of sophistication to the overall design.

A light "Quarry" blue is introduced at the collar and tongue tag to balance the darker tones. This softer shade complements white and navy, adding a subtle pop of color that continues the shoe's subtle hints of contemporary flair.

Pairs are available now from New Balance US for $110 — marked down to $85 as of August 3, 2024.
