Steven Smith’s New Balance 550 continues to form an important part in the world of sneakers 33 years after it debuted. Recently, the made-for-basketball creation emerged in a compelling black and gum brown outfit perfect for fall.

The upper indulges in the darker of the two aforementioned tones, presenting the brand’s premium pig suede in a new fashion. The “N” branded product takes on a fan-favorite gum brown bottom, positioning itself alongside other autumn-friendly products from New Balance. Together, each component helps further diversify the 550’s roster.

Enjoy official images of the shoe ahead, and anticipate a newbalance.com launch soon.
