Premium leather upper enhances durability. Perforations throughout improve breathability. Padded heel for comfort. Rubber outsole increases traction. N logo at the side. New Balance reintroduced the 550 in a major way in 2020 with the help of collaborative partners, led by Teddy Santis and Aimé Leon Dore. Following a string of must-have joint releases, the sportswear brand slowly began to integrate inline colorways that have sold out much like the aforementioned collabs. With a noticeably clean aesthetic, the 550 is a timeless classic that pays homage to ‘90s basketball players and the streetwear that defined a hoops generation. As New Balance puts it, the sneaker is simple and not overbuilt to deliver a sporty look. Now that it’s back in the limelight, don’t expect the 550 to go anywhere anytime soon. And seeing as each colorway comes and goes in a hurry, you’ll want to take advantage and cop a pair while you can.

Decent traction for court play. Shoe length is OK. Upper material is super stiff; it took several hours of use to break in. Not like modern mesh materials. Toe box is much narrower than normal sport shoes. If you’re on the border between standard and wide, this is one style to definitely get the wide size if available.
I purchased the shoe with ease online. I received the 550 three or four days afterwards and everything was good to go. Hibbett Sports was definitely on point with this purchase and got me my sneakers in a timely manner!JB
Product is good. The shoe turns out running small. Called the customer service and they were not allow me to exchange the shoe since the shoe is nonretunable. It is shown very unclear in the product description. Be careful.
Ordered these in a hurry as it is now nearly impossible to check out on their website just to find out they didn't even fit true to size! Now for whatever reason their return policy doesn't apply for these shoes and I'm stuck with a pair of new balance that I can't even wear. These are my first pair of new balances to date and so far the experience has been horrible.
I bought these for my husband. The New Balance sneakers are very well made. My husband liked the canvas sneakers and said they were comfortable.
great design,but quite narrow and long.it fits narrow and long, not true to size.for womens, it's long too and narrow. Some say it's big sized in womens, but not for me.I am a regular 9,5 womens, but I orderws a 10 due to narrowness. but best to try them on first before you buy.
Purchased these for my dad and he loves them! Fit TTS, he did mention took him a day to feel comfortable but now he wears em a ton. Color is great too.
