In the 1980s, the New Balance 550 debuted as a basketball sneaker, blending style and performance. Its retro charm and comfort quickly transformed it into a popular choice for everyday wear beyond the court. As we approach Summer 2024, the Boston-based brand is set to unveil the Y2K “Patent Leather” Pack, a contemporary take on classic style celebrating the turn of the millennium.

The newest 550s boast a shiny patent leather upper, complemented by smooth leather accents and breathable mesh tongues, ensuring comfort in every stride. One pair features a lively mix of Pink, Green, and Yellow, while the other displays a pleasing combination of Red, Pink, and Light Blue tones. Both pairs retain iconic elements like the “N” side logos, “550” text on the lateral forefoot, and New Balance branding on tongues, heels, and insoles, all tied together with a two-tone rubber outsole.

Anticipated for Summer 2024, the New Balance 550 Y2K “Patent Leather” Pack will be available at select retailers, both in-store and online, including NewBalance.com. As of now, the retail price is yet to be disclosed.

Embrace the fusion of modern flair and timeless design with these upcoming releases, adding a dash of vibrancy to your summer wardrobe. Stay tuned for more details and ensure you don’t miss out on this exciting launch from New Balance.
