The New Balance 550 sneaker was designed by Steven Smith in 1989 as a successor to the New Balance 650 for basketball players looking for a low-top choice. The shoe is designed for on-court performance, with a tough leather upper along with an ENCAP cushioning technology that ensures both durability and comfort. Despite being canceled, a rebirth was initiated in 2020 through cooperation with Aimé Leon Dore, bringing a new wave of fans.

The latest addition to the 550 sneaker lines is the special "Washed Burgundy" colorway exclusively for women. The design has a perforated white leather upper for enhanced breathability, contrasted with light pink hues.

The mesh collars, puffy "N" side branding, 550, tongue, heel branding, and inner lining along with a segment of the heel counter, are covered in Washed Burgundy shade. The style is completed with a sturdy rubber sole covered in white.
