New Balance’s 550 originally made its mark on pro basketball courts in 1989. It was not seen again for 21 years. After being reintroduced to New Balance’s full-time lineup, the 550 quickly established itself as a global fashion fixture. This special kids' version of the 550 has a low top, streamlined silhouette that offers a clean take on the heavy-duty designs of the late ‘80s, while the dependable leather, synthetic, and mesh upper construction is a classic look in any era.
