The original 550 debuted in 1989 and left its mark on basketball courts from coast to coast. After its initial release, the 550 was archived before being reintroduced in a limited edition at the end of 2020 and returning to the full-time lineup in 2021, quickly becoming a global fashion favorite. The streamlined low-top silhouette of the 550 offers a clear interpretation of the robust designs of the late '80s, while the reliable leather upper construction provides a classic look in any era.
