A fresh, workwear-inspired colorway of the '90s ‘BB 550’ basketball silhouette from New Balance has just been released to start off the new year. The BB 550 ‘Canyon and Tobacco’ boasts woody mustard uppers made of premium full-grain leather, while the collar, basketball symbol, and "N" marking all have tobacco coloring.

The traditional ‘NB’ and ‘new balance’ text elements sit on the laterals of the neutral sneakers, and small perforations decorate the uppers for a textured look. The retro-style shoe has muddy brown laces and matching stitching, and a gum outsole completes the look.

Interested parties can purchase a BB50 'Canyon and Tobacco pair from New Balance and at select shops, such as Size?, for $120 USD.
