The New Balance 550 White Blue and White Team Royal is a redefined version of the classic basketball shoe originally released in 1989. This shoe was part of the Conversations Amongst Us grade schoolers US pack, featuring highlights such as a lace closure, an upper made from leather, synthetic materials, and mesh, a cushioned midsole for enhanced comfort, and a rubber outsole for improved traction. The rejuvenated New Balance 550 White Blue was released in December 2020 at a retail price of $110. Meanwhile, the New Balance 550 ‘White Team Royal’ reintroduces the vintage ‘80s hoops shoe, initially resurrected through an Aime Leon Dore collaboration in October 2020. This pair features crisp white leather construction throughout the upper with royal blue accents, including a raised ‘N’ logo and a breathable mesh collar for added style and comfort.
