New Balance 550 “White / Grey” (BBW550BB)
Wit voert hier de boventoon, maar het is de grijze rain cloud-tint die deze 550 zijn karakter geeft. Zacht, ietwat gedempt grijs legt zich over de zijpanelen en de forse N, waardoor het schone wit meteen structuur en diepte krijgt. Geen schreeuwerige kleur, wel precies genoeg contrast om de retro-basketballijnen van dit lage model te laten spreken. Voor de kenner: dit is de BBW550BB, de wit-grijze uitvoering die begin april 2023 landde.
Het bovenwerk is van leer, en dat merk je: het houdt zijn vorm, plooit niet slap weg en veeg je met een vochtige doek zo weer fris. De lage snit houdt alles luchtig rond de enkel en maakt in- en uitstappen moeiteloos. Draag hem onder een rechte jeans of een crème pantalon en laat het grijs terugkomen in een hoodie of jas, dan blijft het geheel rustig en samenhangend, zonder ooit saai te worden.

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.

Hypescore × price
Hype doesn't have to be expensive. Each dot is a New Balance 550 colorway (of the 156 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 50). 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.
