The New Balance 550 “Hemp” Borrows Stussy’s “Fossil” Scheme

Select Model

New Balance will fit out the 550 in canvas this Spring, with a handful of new options expected to hit shelves over the season. The next is the New Balance 550 “Hemp”

It’s hard not to see Stussy’s influence over this release, as the pair borrows not only the famous textile but also its legendary “Fossil” color scheme.

Working through a spectrum of tonal “Sea Salt” textiles across the tongue, upper, and overlays, with collars and midfoot N motifs adding a soft tonal suede. Pops of black trim the pair’s branding throughout, with a simple all-sail sole unit sitting underfoot to complete the design.

The pair is also expected to arrive alongside a matching pair in brown.
