Revived thanks to a partnership with Teddy Santis and Aime Leon Dore, the New Balance 550 instantly established its place in the sneaker hall of fame. With the recent hype thanks to Taylor Swift's spotlight on this silhouette, New Balance is using its time effectively to bring fresh iterations to its adoring fans. The latest is a suede-covered Mushroom colorway, launching alongside the Blue Suede, Olive Suede, and Grey Suede renditions.
A harmonious blend of luxe materials, the New Balance 550 Suede Mushroom is nothing short of a masterpiece. A luscious, hairy suede envelops the shoe, cloaking it in muted tan shades that evoke earthy sophistication. Subtle contrasts are woven into the design, with whites gracing the "550" text by the eyestays, the branded tag, and the sharp trimming around the midfoot's iconic "N" logo. Equally compelling is the embroidered NB heel detailing that stands out in crisp white. Breathable mesh panels can be seen on the toe, tongue, collar, and heel tab, complementing the plush suede. The final touch is the stark white rubber midsole branded with New Balance's logo, anchored by a cream rubber outsole.
The New Balance 550 Suede Mushroom will release September 29, 2023, through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. Available exclusively in men’s sizes, these kicks are priced at $120.
