Vintage Tooling Returns to the New Balance 550 in 2025

Vintage tooling makes a return to the New Balance 550 in 2025, continuing the trend of neo-vintage aesthetics that have defined the retro hoops model since its reintroduction. This time around, two new colorways will arrive, both embracing a classic look with modern updates, arriving in the early months of the year.

Both pairs feature scuffed midfoot N motifs, sail-tinted midsoles, and grey rubber tread for that vintage feel. One pair is trimmed with baby blue, while the other incorporates red accents. The baby blue edition features sail leathers, and the red-trimmed version is dressed in classic white. Sueded toes and collars offer a refined touch, elevating these timeless silhouettes while staying true to the model's roots.

Expect a release in early 2025, though an exact date has not yet been confirmed.
