New Balance BB550CPC

The New Balance 550 Sea Salt Pack Black channels a vintage basketball image from the 80s while presenting in a sea salt and black color combination. The 550 from New Balance is regularly updated, and new colorways are always appearing. This black iteration is one of four colorways that were released as part of the "Sea Salt" pack to pay homage to the sea, sand, and summer. The upper aims to provide breathability through the mesh toe box and perforated side panels. The sea salt colored base lends way to black accents throughout the shoe, which usually present as New Balance branding hits such as the puffy large Ns on the side panels. What we love about the New Balance 550 Sea Salt Pack Black is its chunky midsole in an off-white color. It adds a retro vibe and an air of casualness. This shoe entered the marketplace on May 24, 2024, with a retail price of $110.
