New balance 550 red and black

The New Balance 650 has been a tougher sell than the shorter 550, but it’s helped the New England institution the hearts (and money) of consumers enamored with sneaker designs from the 1980s. Before 2022 officially closes, the silhouette has emerged in a tried-and-proven black, red, and white color combination.

Akin to other takes on the New Balance 550 predecessor, the newly-surfaced pair indulges in a leather and fabric construction across the upper. The majority of the sneaker’s top-half boasts a pitch-dark finish, with ruby-colored contrast animating everything from the “650” text at the lateral quarter panel to the collar area. Stability structures around the heel follow suit, as do zones of the multi-directional traction underfoot. Lastly, the vintage New Balance design features a white midsole that not only harkens back to a time when footwear designs–in particular within the performance realm–were simpler, but also allows for the black and red color due to revel in the spotlight.

Enjoy product shots of the pair ahead, and anticipate a newbalance.com launch soon.

The New Balance 550 Black Red is one of several brand-new colourways of New Balance’s basketball sneaker that is set to drop to the masses in the next coming weeks. With the Aimé Leon Dore collaboration reviving the OG Basketball Oxford shoe, the retro-style kicks have caught the eye of many sneakerheads over the last few months, and we are certainly looking forward to getting our hands on a pair of these!

The renewal of the NB550 has undeniably deemed itself to be one of the brand's most popular models this year. Leaked images of general release colorways have surfaced online, and it appears that the footwear label has a line-up ready for us in the new year.

A closer look at this pair shows a clean black suede upper with leather red accents coating overlays across the base for a pop of contrast. This includes the sock liner, the model number on the forefront, and the N logo stamped across the medial and lateral side that maintains the old school aesthetic the silhouette is known for.

Underfoot, a crisp white midsole lined with a rubber outsole provides optimal comfort and cushioning for the wearer. Rounding it all of are further branding details on the tongue, insole, and heels.

As for its release details, there is currently no official launch date set for the New Balance 550 Bred. However, what we do know is that the pair will be landing at select retailers with a retail price of £80 attached to them.

A new iteration of one of New Balance‘s, most popular models, the 550, has surfaced, this time releasing in a USA-friendly colorway.

The patriotic-themed pair is constructed in a mostly-white leather upper, featuring mesh tongues and ankle colors. Navy blue suede highlights the overlays up front on the toebox and in the rear heel. Hints of black leather accents are seen on the collar while pops of red are displayed on the rubber outsole to complete the USA colorway. The shoe sits atop a tri-color, white, grey and red outsole to round out the design.

Look out for the new pair of New Balance 550 releasing in the coming months online at New Balance for $110 USD.

Are the New Balance 550 sold out?

Aimé Leon Dore's take on the silhouette topped Lyst's Q1 2022 search rankings, for instance, and the 550 is perpetually sold-out on New Balance's website while other trendy models, like the 2002R, sit.

Are New Balance 550 coming back?

Since the 550 was relaunched back in 2021, ALD's iterations have undeniably been the most popular, especially the initial colorways that arrived what feels like an eternity ago as part of Aimé Leon Dore's Spring/Summer 2021 collection.
Why Is New Balance 550 Popular? A combination of vintage looks and 80s-era basketball sneakers being fashionable, high profile collabs and limited availability have made the New Balance 550 an extremely popular sneaker model. Hype is the reason the sneaker is difficult to find, or at least was from 2020-early 2022.
