What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I love how the 550 brings that classic ‘80s basketball vibe into a stylish everyday sneaker. The suede and mesh upper gives it a premium feel, while the sturdy rubber outsole offers great durability. It’s got just the right amount of structure and support, making it a comfortable go-to for all-day wear. Whether I’m pairing it with jeans or joggers, the 550 delivers that timeless, vintage-inspired look without sacrificing comfort."
With its roots on the hardwood and a firm grip on modern street style, the New Balance 550 is a true classic reborn. Originally released in 1989, this sneaker was built for basketball but has since found its place as a must-have staple for everyday wear. Its streamlined, low-top silhouette offers a sleek nod to the past while delivering all-day comfort and durability.
A combination of suede and mesh in the upper creates a premium feel with a balance of breathability and structure. The sturdy rubber outsole ensures traction and longevity, while the adjustable lace closure offers a customized fit. Whether we're hitting the streets or keeping things casual, the 550’s vintage charm and modern versatility make it a go-to for any occasion.

Amazing Supportive Sneaker for Pregnancy
I bought these shoes (different color) a few months ago for wearing during pregnancy. Well now that I’m just a few weeks shy of my due date I have to say these are the only shoes I am wearing!! They are so incredibly comfortable and supportive, and they go with almost everything. They’re easy to wipe clean too. Love them!!
