Women’s New Balance 550 Surfaces in “Washed Burgundy”

Crafted by Steven Smith, the New Balance 550 originally emerged in 1989 as an alternative to the New Balance 650, designed for basketball players seeking a low-top option. Geared for on-court performance, the shoe boasts a durable leather upper and an ENCAP cushioning system, ensuring both robustness and comfort. Although discontinued, a revival sparked in 2020 through a collaboration with Aimé Leon Dore, attracting a fresh wave of enthusiasts. This resurgence also led to ongoing releases, including partnerships with AURALEE and Concepts.

Adding to its array, the latest addition is the exclusive “Washed Burgundy” colorway for women. The design showcases a White perforated leather upper, delivering optimal breathability with Pink accents for contrast. The Washed Burgundy elements grace the mesh collars, puffed “N” side logos, inner lining, 550, tongue, and heel branding, as well as a segment of the heel counter. The look concludes with a solid White rubber sole.

For those intrigued, anticipate the launch of the New Balance 550 “Washed Burgundy” in the upcoming months. The release will be accessible at chosen New Balance outlets in-store, online, and through NewBalance.com. Tailored to women’s sizing, the shoe will bear a price tag of $110 USD.

In summary, the New Balance 550, initially devised for basketball prowess, has garnered a new wave of devotion due to its modern-day collaborations. The forthcoming “Washed Burgundy” iteration, tailored for women, maintains the model’s legacy with a blend of comfort, style, and performance. Stay tuned for its release, ready to seize the fusion of heritage and contemporary flair.
