Sneaker News Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie has quickly become one of the most followed films of the year, featuring a star-studded cast and equally-talented soundtrack headlined by Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj. In the midst of a global press tour that’s reignited the doll craze, Barbie is now extending her influence to the lifestyle sneaker ecosystem with an unofficial pink-accented New Balance 550.
Perfect for the tail-end of summer, the Basketball Oxford relies on its late 80s design ethos while infusing a contemporary pastel palette. Crisp white leather dominates the upper with a quickness, further stretching the colorless tones across the inner lining, laces and heel counter. The aforementioned blank canvas allows for the two-toned ensemble’s soft pink counterpart to shine throughout, concentrating along the mid-foot N logo, tongue trim and 550 insignia affixed to the quarter. The sole unit underfoot additionally indulges in the faint tint, capturing hits of pink at the toe, heel and presiding rubber clip.
Enjoy a detailed look at the women’s-exclusive New Balance 550 “Barbie” below as we await further release details.
In other news, the A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 5 “Black/Burgundy” has recently surfaced in detailed imagery.
