The New Balance 550 ‘Varsity Orange’ showcases a retro silhouette created by the talented designer Steven Smith, while incorporating a color scheme inspired by varsity aesthetics. The upper features a stylish layering of pristine white leather, perfectly complemented by a vibrant orange textile on the padded low-cut collar. The citrus accents continue to add a pop of color to the breathable nylon tongue and the iconic ‘N’ logo that proudly embellishes the quarter panel. In addition to its striking design, this sneaker offers exceptional comfort through its lightweight EVA wedge, designed to provide cushioning with every step. Elevating its vintage charm, the 550 'Varsity Orange' boasts a rubber cupsole that pays tribute to its roots in classic hardwood basketball shoes.
