Abandoning the usual leather tooling, the New Balance 550 “Hemp” feature textile hemp uppers paired with mesh tongues and matching suede elements. Branding comes in the form of the usual “N” motifs at the midfoot, “550” embroidery, tongue tags, “NB” logos at the rear, and printed insoles. Elevating the shoe are branding marked cream-colored sole units with matching tonal stitching.
Priced at $120 USD, the New Balance 550 “Hemp” is available via New Balance and at select retailers.
