South Korean fashion label thisneverthat and New Balance are adding to their deep collaboration archive with a trio of 550 colorways. Coming in Lavender, Brown, and Green, each pair uses a canvas upper and black outsole. The inspiration stems from skateboarding and hiking footwear in the 90s, a decade the brand credits as inspiration for its inception. The minimal design makes minor updates to the 550, including replacing the lace holes with eyelets, adding cracked leather to the N logo, and a co-branded tongue label.
The thisisneverthat x NewBalance 550 launch globally on September 7 for $130 USD at newbalance.com
