The original 550 was released in 1989 and left its mark on basketball courts across the country. After the first edition, the 550 was archived before being reintroduced in a limited edition at the end of 2020. In 2021, it returned to the regular lineup and quickly became a global fashion favorite. The low, streamlined silhouette of the 550 is a clear nod to the sturdy design of the late 80s, while the durable synthetic leather upper offers a classic look for any era.
