About this product
This New Balance 550 sneaker in white/red/black is a retro basketball-inspired low-top with a leather upper and rubber outsole. Available in sizes 8 and 11.5, it features lace-up closure, fabric lining, and foam insole. The 2025 release offers vintage style with modern comfort, suitable for casual, activewear, and workwear.
Our take
The New Balance 550 is a lifestyle sneaker that nails the retro basketball look. The leather upper feels quality, and the cushioning is decent for all-day wear. I like the colorblock pattern; it's versatile enough for casual outfits. However, don't expect performance-level support for actual sports—this is more about style than function. The rubber outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces. For $55, it's a fair price for a trendy sneaker that pays homage to the 80s/90s aesthetic. Just be aware it's not a performance shoe.
