With the wet and windy months officially here, it's probably time to put away those all-white sneakers in favor of something a little more season-friendly. If you're not sure where to begin, the New Balance 550 "Blue Groove" might just be the sneaker for you. A no-nonsense colorway that will work with all of your Fall and Winter fits, whether you're a hardcore 550 collector or you're searching for your very first pair, this might just be the one for you.
Taking on the legendary '80s basketball shoe, this 550 boasts a black leather construction that's smooth and soft to the touch. Perforated detailing along the sides offer a vintage vibe, and along the "N" logo and ankle you'll find a textured blue groove finish that adds depth to the overall design. This is offset by a crisp white midsole underfoot that's very subtly contrasted by grey tones along the rubber outsole, making this pair infinitely more versatile.
Releasing on October 19th, 2022, the New Balance 550 Black Blue Groove will drop in men's sizes for $110 at New Balance and select online and in-store retailers. Let us know what you think of this upcoming colorway, and be sure to keep it locked on our Twitter and the Mobile App for your best chance to cop!
