New Balance continues to expand its 550 lineup with the release of an all-new dusty pink colorway. The women’s release features a suede upper that is dressed in a dusty and earthy pink shade, while hints of white and sail decorate the collars, laces, midsole, and outsole. Branding elements like a 550 graphic on the lateral forefoot overlay tie together the shoe, while ‘New Balance’ decorates the midsole. The brand’s signature ‘N’ logos come in an icy white shade for this iteration.
The women’s New Balance 550 in the new dusty pink colorway will launch in the coming weeks via the brand’s website. The sneakers are expected to retail for approximately $110 USD, but this information is subject to change.
