Like many popular kicks that were designed with basketball players in mind, the New Balance 550 was first dropped in the late 1980s with hoopers in mind. They were originally released in 1989 under the model name “P550 Basketball Oxford”. They were made by the legendary basketball shoe designer, Steve Smith. The 550 was created with hardwood being the main focus instead of simply fashion. Now they are a fashion staple and have gone totally mainstream as just about everybody owns a pair.
