Japanese label AURALEE and New Balance have teamed up to release a sophisticated take on the popular 550 basketball oxford silhouette.

AURALEE’s take on the New Balance 550 arrives in an Off-White “Pistachio Ecru” hue constructed in premium leather. Its tongue, which traditionally features a basketball pattern graphic logo has been replaced for a solid piece of leather to give the shoe a more minimal and clean design.

AURALEE New Balance 550 Release Date

Look for the AURALEE x New Balance 550 to release on July 16th in Japan via AURALEE’s website, New Balance JP, New Balance T-HOUSE, and New Balance Roppongi.
