The New Balance 550 White Purple delivers a simplistic two-tone colorway of the retro hoops shoe originally released in 1989. The upper is composed of white leather with a tonal suede forefoot overlay and contrasting violet accents throughout. They include a TPU heel clip, a raised N logo on the quarter panel, and 550 stamped on the lateral forefoot. The low-top rests on a durable rubber cupsole, featuring an exposed EVA wedge on the medial sidewall.
