Few sneaker models have managed to influence not only the footwear sector but also the entire fashion industry in such a short time. The New Balance 550 with its basketball silhouette is a key factor in the current heyday of New Balance, a brand that is currently experiencing one of the best periods in its history. These sneakers were first introduced in 1989 and quickly gained popularity on basketball courts thanks to their excellent cushioning features, which are also appreciated for everyday wear. Their popularity skyrocketed thanks to a collaboration with Aimé Leon Dore in 2022, causing the New Balance 550 to become one of the most sought-after models on the market, selling out quickly in stores.
