New Balance 550 XLD Slate Grey

New Balance is back with another edition of its annual Grey Day sneaker holiday featuring iconic NB styles. Kicked off in 2018, the month-long celebration pays homage to the brand’s signature colourway, which brought balance to the dirt-prone white sneakers and the dull vibe of all-black kicks. The New Balance 550 XLD “Slate Grey” headlines the Grey Day 2024 lineup, equipping the late ‘80s basketball Oxford with a monochromatic ensemble that resonates with the Boston-based sportswear company’s DNA.

This colourway showcases a greyscale premium leather base, adorned with a signature “N” logo and a “550” callout. Perforations on the upper provide breathability during the warmer season to keep your feet dry and fresh. An embossed NB logo adorns the heel, replacing the typically embroidered styling. Yellowish foam appears exposed on the edges of the leather tongue, which boasts a subtle “new balance” label, devoid of the usual woven branding and recognisable basketball logo. Below, the durable rubber cupsole delivers consistent traction and arch support.
