550

The New Balance 550 “Lakers” is a colorway of the vintage basketball shoe that shows appreciation for the Los Angeles Lakers. While not affiliated with the Lakers in any way, the shoe nonetheless seeks inspiration from the basketball team, perhaps even from former Laker James Worthy’s signature shoe collection with New Balance in the late 1980s. The shoe features a white leather construction with smooth and dotted leather on the various overlays. A purple leather overlay appears on the tonal collar. Contrasting purple “N” branding with a yellow trim is found on either side of the shoe and purple “NB” detailing appears on the heel. A yellow “550” logo is embroidered on the forefoot.
