New Balance 550 Sea Salt Black (BB550LM1)
Sea Salt is die romig-witte tint die net iets warmer oogt dan hard wit, en op deze 550 krijgt-ie de ruimte die-ie verdient. Het leren bovenwerk draagt de hoofdrol in dat zachte gebroken wit, terwijl een grijze suède mudguard de neus en zijkanten een tastbaar accent geeft. Die suède voelt zacht aan en geeft de schoen karakter dat glad leer mist. Zwart komt terug in de buitenzool en in de accenten, waardoor de colorway z'n naam waarmaakt: rustig, maar met contrast dat blijft hangen.
Het leer houdt netjes z'n vorm en veeg je met een doekje weer schoon, terwijl de mesh-panelen zorgen dat je voet koel blijft als de dag langer wordt. Perforaties op het zijpaneel en het basketbalmotief op de tong verwijzen naar de hoop-wortels van dit silhouet (BB550LM1 voor wie 'm zoekt). De witte tussenzool tilt het geheel op boven de zwarte rubberen buitenzool die grip geeft op gladde stoep. Combineer 'm met een rechte jeans en een crème hoodie zodat die Sea Salt-tint de toon zet.

CheapestNew Balance BBW550AB (sea salt / nb navy) – BBW550AB$30PriciestNew Balance x Rich Paul 550 Multi Sky Blue (BB550RP1)$386We 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 11 Sep 2026.
Hypescore × price
Hype doesn't have to be expensive. Each dot is a New Balance 550 colorway (of the 155 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 45). 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.
