New Balance‘s 550 has risen in popularity thanks to its Aimé Leon Dore collaborations which have significantly risen awareness and popularity in the classic basketball sneaker. For the latest release we get a crisp white and green colorway. We feel like since this came shortly after the purple iteration — we feel we’re getting a little Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics vibes here. This is a great color way perfect for the summer and Boston Celtics fans. It’s also worth mentioning that New Balance is headquartered in Boston.

It all starts with the sneaker’s upper made primarily of white leather both smooth and perforated. You filled white mesh used on the collars and tongues while the mudguard comes in a clean tan suede. Celtic green makes an appearance on the midfoot N logo. As well as the tongue badge, the 550 graphic and other areas. To round things off this all sits atop midsoles that feature embossed New Balance branding and green outsoles.
We’re still unsure of an actual release date. However, these beauties are expected to arrive on June 24 for a retail price of $110 USD. You can take a look at the full shoe in the gallery above, Lastly, for more sneaker news, Nike Set To Release Nike Dunk Low “Sail/Light Bone” Later This Year.
