The New Balance 550 ‘Concrete Black’ steps out in a neutral palette devoid of any color. The vintage ‘80s hoops shoe carries a white leather upper with a low-cut padded collar in black mesh. A grey raised ‘N’ logo decorates the quarter panel, while a black Flying NB graphic is stamped on the heel overlay. The sneaker sits atop a sturdy rubber cupsole, highlighted by an exposed foam wedge on the lateral side and a durable two-tone rubber outsole underfoot.
