New Balance 550 White Purple (BB550WR1)
Fris wit als basis, paarse accenten die er net bovenuit springen: deze New Balance 550 leeft van het contrast. Het schone wit vormt een rustig canvas, terwijl het paars de klassieke N en de details langs de zijkant precies genoeg lading geeft om op te vallen zonder te schreeuwen. Het is die verhouding — veel wit, een gerichte scheut kleur — die de variant BB550WR1 herkenbaar maakt tussen alle andere 550's.
Het bovenwerk in leer houdt zijn vorm en blijft strak staan, ook na een lange dag; een vochtige doek is genoeg om het wit weer op te frissen. Dat maakt deze low-top verrassend makkelijk in het dagelijks dragen. Combineer 'm met een rechte jeans en een witte tee en laat het paars het werk doen, of pak een paarse sok of muts om die kleur bewust te laten terugkomen. Zo houd je het retro-basketbalsilhouet fris en helemaal van jezelf.

CheapestNew Balance 550 Team Red Suede (GSB550ND)€27PriciestNew Balance 550 AURALEE – “White / White / White” (BB550AR)€1.124We 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 9 Sep 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 77). 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.
