Teddy Santis, the visionary behind Aime Leon Dore, played a crucial role in reviving the New Balance 550 in late 2020, sparking its resurgence. Originally introduced in 1989, Santis stumbled upon an old photograph showcasing its timeless appeal within New Balance’s archives. He collaborated closely with the New Balance team to painstakingly resurrect the shoe. Since then, the New Balance 550 has firmly established itself as a wardrobe essential. Let us now introduce you to the New Balance 550 “Olive Suede” BB550PHB.
This specific version of the 550 boasts a captivating olive colour that covers the entire upper. It features a breathable mesh base, accentuated by luxurious suede overlays, which add a touch of luxury to the design. To create a subtle contrast, various elements, including the tongue tags, embroidered “550” branding, outlines of the iconic “N” logos, heel branding, and rubber midsoles, all come in pristine white. The ensemble is expertly completed with a creamy rubber outsole, resulting in an elegant and adaptable aesthetic that effortlessly caters to the preferences of minimalistic and neutral fashion enthusiasts.
