The original 550 debuted in 1989 and made its mark on basketball courts from coast to coast. After its initial run, the 550 was filed away in the archives, before being reintroduced in limited-edition releases in late 2020, and returned to the full-time lineup in 2021, quickly becoming a global fashion favorite. The 550’s low top, streamlined silhouette offers a clean take on the heavy-duty designs of the late ‘80s, while the dependable leather upper construction is a classic look in any era.

I have been wanting these shoes for a while, but they were pretty pricey. However, I recently bought them and I am beyond happy with my purchase. They are perfect for everyday wear as well as dressing up an outfit. Because I love them so much, I plan on buying more shoes of this style in different colors!

Super cute but extremely uncomfortable. The shoes bend at the bottom of the laces when I walk, and dig aggressively into the top of my foot. This started happening after about three days of wear. Will probably keep them and hope that as they break in more, they’ll stop being so painful.

These are the most uncomfortable shoes I'm so disappointed. The soles are great and plush but the leather on the top part of the shoe where your big toe bends is so stiff it gives my feet bruises everytime I wear them! I thought maybe they'd break in, but it's been almost 2 months of wearing periodically, trying to bend with my hands, and using a variety of tightness with the lases, and it's still the most painful experience trying to walk in these. I can barely last a few hours in them and then can't wear the next day because of how bruised my feet are afterwards. I wish I knew this before I bought or I honestly wouldn't have gotten them. I don't understand how these are a basketball staple when I can barely even walk in them.

Awesome purchase! I love the neutral color so they go with every outfit I wear and they’re fairly comfortable. The leather is a little stiff but I think they’ll become more comfortable once I break them in. Also, they are a little narrow so I would not recommend these to anyone with wide feet.
this shoe is purtyyy. the size is 100% accurate when it comes to MEASURING, but i strongly recommend when CHOOSING A SIZE, sizing down 0.5 as it says already on the shopping page. they are not lying. i did that and they fit perfectly! with socks too. but yes, u need to definitely get this!
I love the look of these, but they are agony to wear. The bottom part of the leather layer with the laces on is very inflexible and cuts deeply into my feet when I walk. They hurt so much that I can't wear them long enough to wear them in and soften the leather up. Very painful, and I wish I hadn't bought them.
I ordered these shoes for my daughter as a Christmas gift. When I opened them I noticed a mark on the side of the shoe and when I took it out and flipped the shoe over, there was dirt marks all on the bottom of the shoes!! They sent me used, dirty shoes!! I ordered new sneakers not used! And then I had to return them and try to re order but nope I can't because it's sold out now. Thank god I was able to find them at a different place and hopefully it will come in time. But this was just ridiculous and I can't believe they send dirty shoes out to people!
These shoes are very spacious in the toes, perfect for walking on campus. When I first received them I hadn't realized that the letters were cracked, but that is indeed the design as well as the shaggy heel. I think they're cute regardless. I ordered the size I usually wear, size 6, and they fit perfectly.
these sneakers are cute everyday shoes that are neutral and can go with any outfit. they are very comfortable and cushioned on the inside. I don’t have wide feet however, i find these to be a little bit narrow but it’s not too much of an issue. I originally ordered a size 7 but had to exchange for a 6.5 because they were too big. Overall, cute shoes.
I ordered 10 & 10.5 because I didn't know which one would fit best. Ended up keeping the 10s because they fit better. Took a few days to break them in, but now they are super comfortable. If you have wide feet I would go up half a size maybe so there's more room in the toe box. Love the look of these shoes!
