New Balance Outfits the 550 in “Argon”

For New Balance, the 550 has become such an essential silhouette in the brand’s offerings that it serves a similar role to Nike’s classic Air Force 1. As a result, a steady stream of colorways continue to hit the sneaker alongside collaborations with the likes of COMME des GARÇONS HOMME and Jack Harlow.

New Balance’s streak of 550 releases continues with an “Argon” makeover that features white, shades of blue, gray and off-white. The sneaker’s typical leather construction returns to the upper with white operating as its base color. A deep blue is found on the “N” logo, trim, heel and midfoot portion of the rubber outsole while a lighter blue hits the lateral 550 branding and portions of the heel, including the classic NB logo. Lastly, off-white supports the midsole design while gray rounds out the outsole’s color range.
