Early Look at Rich Paul's Next New Balance 550 Collaboration

Rich Paul is one of the biggest agents in all of sports as he manages box office caliber NBA players such as LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Draymond Green, Zach LaVine and more. In 2021, he was given the opportunity to flex another creative muscle by working with New Balance on a 550 collaboration, and now it looks as though a sequel is on the way.This first set of leaked imagery reveals aerial perspectives of the uppers and packaging. Straying away from the white leather panels that arrived on this inaugural iteration, this forthcoming rendition comes styled with a buttery suede build that's covered in a lavender hue. His full moniker is printed across the tongues while his initials are positioned on the footbeds and heels and intertwined rose graphics. We've also caught a glimpse at the pair's shoe box which features co-branded hits on the top of the lid and the words "Forever Yours" on the interior, all of which are written out in a similar font to Verdy's signature Girls Don't Cry logo.No official release information about this pair has been announced yet, but you can grab an initial look at them in the gallery above.Elsewhere in sneakers, the first photos of the COMME des GARÇONS HOMME x Tokyo Design Studio New Balance 610 have appeared.
