New Balance 550 “Vintage Indigo” (BB550STG)

Wit als basis, vintage indigo als handtekening: deze New Balance 550 speelt het contrast slim uit. Het schone witte leer draagt diepblauwe suède overlays die de zijkanten, de hiel en het klassieke N-logo omlijnen. Precies dat blauw geeft de BB550STG zijn eigen karakter binnen de 550-familie — herkenbaar retro, maar net iets rustiger en volwassener dan de felle varianten. De geperforeerde neus voegt textuur toe en houdt je voeten wat koeler tijdens langere dagen op de been.

Praktisch zit het goed in elkaar. Het leer houdt zijn vorm en veeg je met een doek zo weer schoon, terwijl de suède die zachte, premium touch met karakter meebrengt. De rubberen buitenzool geeft grip op stad en straat, en de lage snit maakt deze makkelijk te combineren. Draag hem op een rechte, iets opgerolde jeans zodat het indigo bovenaan de schoen goed tot zijn recht komt, met wit of denim eromheen.

Price distribution New Balance 550

We compare this sneaker's price with the 312 other adult versions of the New Balance 550 that we track. At a lowest price of €130 this colorway is pricier than 78% of those 312 versions. The group median sits at €95, with resale outliers up to €1.124. The chart shows exactly where this sneaker falls — the black marker — among all the others.

We always compare the lowest price a colorway is currently on sale for somewhere: the cheapest entry point, usually for one specific size. The comparison stays within the same age group, because a kids size (TD/PS/GS) is priced differently than an adult size. Because the price varies per size, your size may come out a little higher. To keep the comparison fair we leave out the most and least expensive two percent — the resale outliers, and the price axis is logarithmic so both the cheap and the pricey end stay readable. We refresh the numbers several times a day; last update 30 Aug 2026.

Hypescore × price

Hype doesn't have to be expensive. Each dot is a New Balance 550 colorway (of the 312 with a Hypescore): the further right, the more hype, and the higher a dot sits, the cheaper the sneaker. This sneaker is the photo with the red ring (Hypescore 70). Below the RRP they're called meltdowns: top-left the quiet price meltdowns (cheap, but little attention yet), top-right the radiating meltdowns — lots of hype and well below retail, the hottest deals. Above the RRP sit the grails: bottom-right the radiating grails (loved and pricey), and bottom-left the potential grails — pricey with little hype. That can simply be too expensive, but it's often where fresh drops and collabs appear that are too new to have gathered grail votes; their hype still has to build.
