New Balance 550 Rattan Sea Salt

Boston-based footwear brand New Balance introduces the updated edition of the NB 550 silhouette, which channels a rustic vibe with an ultra-breathable hemp material replacing the regular leather tooling. Among several hemp-based sneakers that sport nature-inspired make-up, the NB 550 dons a natural wheat colour with embroidered branding on the tongue, eye stay and sidewall, sewn on with black thread to stand out from the canvas-like upper. The beige sole complements the hemp upper, with a rubber midsole for standard levels of cushioning. While the NB 550 falls short of the higher-priced NB 990 models' comfort, it is a suitable replacement with its unique nature-based look.
