New Balance 550 Cream

New Balance 550 Cream breaks the rule of this model and uses suede instead of leather. That changes its personality entirely, since suede absorbs light and gives a velvety texture, and with a monochrome cream tone the piece moves closer to quiet luxury than to a basketball shoe.

Who New Balance 550 Cream suits and who it does not

It suits anyone wanting the shape of the 550 in a softer spirit, and anyone who values velvety texture over glossy leather. It does not suit someone who chose this model specifically for how easy it is to maintain, since suede reintroduces the problem leather solves, nor anyone wearing the pair in rain.

Details the photos miss

From what reaches us, the white logo on cream suede reads through texture more than colour, since the difference between them is only half a shade. In photographs the logo looks far clearer because studio lighting reflects off its stitched threads, while on the foot the shoe looks quieter and more unified.

Care and daily wear

Cream suede wants a soft dry brush every two weeks, and no heavy water, which leaves a dark ring on pale shades. The pale grey sole is far easier than white and needs only a monthly wipe. Our WhatsApp concierge can help with sizing before you order.
