The New Balance 550 Sea Salt Black offers exceptional support and comfort, making it perfect for long wear and extensive walking. The sneaker features a black and white sole, with the upper primarily composed of white and grey, highlighted by the iconic black 'N' logo on the side and white laces. Constructed from a combination of leather and breathable materials, the New Balance 550 Sea Salt Black provides both style and functionality. Originally released in May 2021 at an introductory price of $120, this sneaker revisits the classic '80s basketball shoe design with a neutral two-tone color scheme. It includes a padded mesh collar, tonal suede toe wrap, and microperforated midfoot overlay for added comfort, while lightweight cushioning from an EVA wedge within a rubber cupsole enhances its performance.
