The serene blue shade acts as an accent and animates the NB550 branding at the forefoot and the “N” logo. More pops of University Blue appear on the tongue, heel and counter areas. Meanwhile, most of the forefoot is enveloped with crisp white leather. New Balance 550 UNC finishes with a simple white midsole and a black and blue durable rubber outsole. Who knew a shoe could be trendy and timeless at the same time?
