Before we get to the highly-anticipated three-piece collection from size?, New Balance will kick off spring for the 550 model in a simple sail and black arrangement that shows a clear homage to Aimé Leon Dore’s collective releases past.
With Teddy Santis now at the helm of New Balance, this new general release should come as no surprise. With ALD-like off-white uppers, mesh tongue, and textures N motifs, the simplistic pair is transformed into something extraordinary. Blocking is fairly reserved to counter the shift in textures, with small pops of black in the rear, at the collar, trimming the midfoot motif, and at the toe to complete the design.
Grab a detailed look at the release here below, and expect to see pairs of this new Sail/Black New Balance 550 become available from select stockists and NewBalance.com come January 12 for $110.
