New Balance 550 White Incense

The New Balance 550 White Incense finds inspiration in the original 550 basketball shoe from 1989. It brings the silhouette into the modern age by adding a neutral colorway of white and Incense. This sneaker features a streamlined, low-top silhouette that’s less boxy than other basketball shoes inspired by the late 1980s and early 1990s. The upper is crafted entirely of synthetic leather with layers of overlays in white and tonal stitching. Incense accents can be found on overlays near the heel, part of the rubber outsole, the signature New Balance N, and the tongue’s trim. Tiny, pinprick-sized perforations decorate the forefoot overlays, while two lines of stitching outline the N. This sneaker features responsive foam cushioning and a durable rubber outsole underfoot. Our experts at StockX like the oversized logo tag because it’s an appropriate size for the large tongue. The New Balance 550 White Incense was released on June 21, 2023, and retailed at $110. The New Balance Women’s 550 ‘White Incense’ sports a smooth white leather upper, featuring a padded mesh collar for a comfortable fit. A raised ‘N’ logo adorns the quarter panel in a light tan hue, matching the TPU heel clip and the stitched leather detailing that frames the collar. The sneaker rests on a traditional rubber cupsole, fitted with a visible foam wedge on the medial side.
