New Balance 550 Australia
Designed by Steven Smith in 1989 and revived by Aimé Leon Dore's Teddy Santis, the New Balance 550 is the retro-basketball low-top that took over streetwear. Its clean leather panelling and chunky sole go with everything. UNTIED stocks authentic NB 550s across the best colourways for men and women, shipped Australia-wide.
The colourways worth owning
White Green is the definitive 550 and the easiest to style; White Grey is the wear-anything neutral; and black-based pairs like the Oreo hide scuffs and dress up or down. New colourways land regularly.
How the 550 fits
The 550 fits true to size with a slightly roomy toe box. If you like a snug fit or you're between sizes, go down half a size. Women's sizing runs about 1.5 sizes larger than the men's equivalent, so check the size guide.
Do New Balance 550s run true to size?
Yes — the 550 fits true to size with a slightly roomy toe box. Prefer a snug fit or between sizes? Go down half a size.
Which New Balance 550 colourway is best?
White Green is the classic all-rounder and easiest to style; White Grey is the safest neutral if you want maximum versatility.
