While the milking of the 550 from New Balance has been a little annoying recently, releases such as this colourway do get me excited again. Perhaps one of the best and cleanest colourways so far, the White Grey Dark Grey is exactly what the name implies: an achromatic 550 with an overall lighter feel. A white leather base is enhanced by grey details on the sock liner, tongue, heel, and the "N" logo on the side. From there, a white midsole is contrasted by a dual-tone (light and dark grey) outsole to finish off the beauty.

Super clean and minimal, but still striking enough to be eye-catching.
