The New Balance BB550 Permafrost revisits a silhouette that first made its name on basketball courts in 1989. After time in the archives, the 550 returned through limited drops in late 2020 and rejoined the full-time lineup in 2021, swiftly becoming a modern staple. This Permafrost colourway gives the heritage hoops shape a cool, understated finish, ready to move from the court reference point to everyday street wear.

The benefits

  • Understated, versatile colour
  • Heritage hoops styling
  • Easy court-to-street wear
