Despite a somewhat overwhelming shelf presence, the New Balance 550 routinely finds a way to stand out. On top of go-to vintage treatments, New Balance has regularly dressed the shoe in a wide cast of materials, colors, and overarching design themes in order to stay fresh. Now with eyes on Spring 2024, the Boston brand appears set to release a “Clay Court Pack” featuring vibrant color ensembles across two pairs.

The shoes are differentiated by blue and grey outsoles, complemented by matching New Balance “N” logos and white leather at the forefoot. This delivery’s ethos can be summarized as “business in the front, party in the back,” with the shoes adopting a more subdued appearance upfront only to reveal lively coloring on the heel. The blue variant features a mix of blue, pink, and yellow, enhanced by grey suede, while the grey version incorporates a blend of blue, pink, and green with a grey suede heel panel.
