Michael Le Pre-distressed and pre-aged sneakers have become all the rage with several of the footwear industry’s biggest names, from Golden Goose all the way to Jordan Brand. And now it seems New Balance, too, are following suit, reimagining the 550 M 10.5 / W 12.
While onlookers are sure attribute its design to the Jumpman’s “Reimagined” series, this M 11 / W 12.5 seems to borrow more cues from Golden Goose’s grant catalog. Rather than limit itself to yellowed midsoles and cracked leathers, the pair opts for scuffs throughout its upper and sole, with subtle oxidation present across not just its white leathers but also the blues along the “N” logo. The suede trims and toe box are also treated to slight wear, giving the overall colorway the impression of a shoe that’s been put through its paces.
Enjoy a quick look at this upcoming 550 right here. A release is currently expected for May 12th, with a full size run likely to be available through NewBalance.com M 8.5 / W 10.
Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 Low OG Better With Time New Balance 860v2 Silver is one of the shoe’s first inline offerings of the year.
