New Balance's reputation for blending regional roots with global appeal is unparalleled. Continuing the legacy of the iconic New Balance 550, the brand now celebrates Boston's academic heritage with an upcoming “Boston College” edition of this beloved model.

With an ode to its origin, this New Balance 550 embodies an understated elegance. Dominated by a clean, white leather, delicate touches of grey appear on both the mesh portions along the vamp and collar and the suede lining the collar. A vibrant pop of red accentuates the shoe's character, showcased on the perforated leather panel, the emblematic New Balance "N" logo, and the shoe's interior lining. What makes this edition special is the Boston College emblem gracing the tongue tag, making a definitive statement of its allegiance. This homage doesn't stop there; dive into the interiors, and you're greeted by the college's name emboldened on the radiant red insole. The design concludes with a pristine white rubber midsole with red accent stitching set atop a complementary grey rubber outsole.

The New Balance 550 Boston College will release in 2023 through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $120.
