New Balance 550 White Rain Cloud

The New Balance 550 White Rain Cloud adorns a classic 80s silhouette with seamless overlays on the upper, quarter panels, and heel. It has a round toe, where a white leather mudguard meets the vamp on a two-line stitch. White laces wind up a tongue with a New Balance sew-on at its top. The quarter panel features a perforated layer, while the Thermoplastic Polyurethane sole showcases a two-tone scheme. The outer sole and heel stabilizer have a grayish Rain Cloud hue, and the midsole is white. Unique placement of New Balance logos throughout adds a touch of style, including an embossed logo on the quarter panels, a patched sticker on the tongue, and imprints on the eye stay overlay and counter. This shoe was released on April 6th, 2023, retailing for $110. The New Balance Women’s 550 ‘Rain Cloud’ pairs the shoe’s throwback lines with a refined, neutral color scheme, utilizing a white leather upper with light grey accents. It features the signature ‘N’ logo, TPU heel counter, and leather overlay that reinforces the padded mesh collar. New Balance 550 branding appears on the woven tongue tag, while a Flying NB logo decorates the back heel. Reflecting the model’s ‘80s basketball roots, a durable rubber cupsole anchors the low, featuring an exposed foam wedge on the medial side.
