New Balance is switching things up, going from the court to the green with its new line of golf shoes. In recent years, the New Balance 550 has become a staple silhouette in the rotation and now, its latest NB 550 Golf iteration finds itself meeting the need of modern golfers. The '80s aesthetic returns to the golf course with the 550 Golf, which fittingly, releases first in a "White/Green" colorway. This particular iteration sees a waterproof upper and improved traction, making navigating the course for golfers effortless.
For the most part, the shoe maintains the 550s signature silhouette through and through. The shoe sees a white leather upper base while green hits the color palette to accent parts of the heel counter, collar, "N" branding on the latera part of the shoe, as well as the tongue label. To differentiate the 550 Golf from the original, the tongue label features a playful golf ball moniker that incorporates the brand's "NB" branding. The label also reads "new balance golf," to match the insole branding, as well. In addition to waterproof microfiber leather used to construct the upper, the shoe is also equipped with NDurance spikeless rubber outsoles.
Look out for the New Balance 550 Golf "White/Green" arriving in select retailers and online at New Balance for $140 USD.
