The New Balance 550 is Coming Soon in Two Canvas and Gum Colorways

New Balance will fit out the 550 in canvas this Summer, with a handful of new options expected to hit shelves over the season, with two more colorways set to join the ranks.

Fondly termed the "Canvas & Gum" pack, it presents a perfect blend of minimalist aesthetics and time-tested materials, this pack is set to become an instant favorite for the season.

The first pair in this pack is the epitome of crisp and clean, showcasing an immaculate all-white canvas upper. The purity of white extends throughout, with even the branding seamlessly integrated in tonal embroidery. The delicate hues are contrastingly yet harmoniously met with a robust medium gum rubber sole, adding an earthy and grounded finish to the otherwise ethereal upper.

As if providing a counterbalance, the second pair takes a detour into the darker spectrum with a tasteful smokey slate finish gracing the canvas upper. Much like its counterpart, this pair features tonal branding woven throughout, giving it a sleek and coherent appeal. The smoky grey evokes a sense of subdued elegance, which is perfectly complemented by the same medium gum rubber sole found in the all-white variant.

Moreover, the hard plastics used in the rear clip and the iconic New Balance 'N' motif on the midfoot add an extra layer of texture and intricacy to the design.
