Our take on the New Balance 550 Leather Sneaker Grey

The New Balance 550 is a low-top basketball shoe from 1989 that New Balance brought back as a lifestyle sneaker. This version mixes white and grey leather with mesh and suede panels, a cracked-effect finish and a rubber cupsole. It sits flat and stable with a moderately padded footbed, so it works for everyday wear and long days on your feet. Against rivals like the Nike Dunk Low and Adidas Samba, it offers more cushioning and a wider size run, but it is heavier and less sleek. Owners rate it well for looks and comfort; the common complaints are stiff leather at first and a fit that runs slightly large.

Questions and answers

How does the New Balance 550 fit?
Most buyers say it runs about half a size large, so consider sizing down. It has a normal width and a flat, stable feel.
Is the 550 good for walking all day?
Yes for casual wear. The padded footbed and EVA foam midsole cushion well, but the shoe is heavier than a running sneaker.
How does it compare with the Nike Dunk Low?
The 550 has more cushioning and a wider size range, while the Dunk Low is sleeker and has a flatter, firmer ride. Both are retro basketball styles.
Is this shoe waterproof?
No. It has no Gore-Tex or water-resistant membrane, and the mesh and suede panels let water in. It is best for dry days.
What is the cracked detailing?
It is a distressed finish on parts of the leather that makes the shoe look aged. Some buyers like it; others find it looks worn.
Can I wear the 550 for basketball?
It was originally a basketball shoe, but the modern version is built as a lifestyle sneaker. It lacks modern court cushioning and support.
