New Balance 550 GS Permafrost / Frosted Glass

The New Balance 550 GS Permafrost / Frosted Glass is a fresh iteration of the iconic retro basketball silhouette, reimagined for a new generation and younger sneaker enthusiasts. This grade school (GS) exclusive edition dresses the beloved 550 model in an icy color palette, combining cool blue tones with subtle grey overlays to echo the chilly aesthetics suggested by the "Permafrost" and "Frosted Glass" monikers. Premium leather and synthetic materials comprise the upper, enhancing durability and support, while classic perforated details and the effective use of muted contrasts ensure the shoe stands out without being too bold. The distinctive "N" logo is prominently featured on the midfoot, reinforcing New Balance’s heritage and commitment to style.

Apart from its striking looks, the New Balance 550 GS Permafrost / Frosted Glass maintains the comfort and lightweight cushioning that the silhouette is known for. The EVA midsole offers responsive support, suitable for both daily activities and playground adventures. With a nod to its basketball roots, this sneaker also provides reliable traction thanks to its sturdy rubber outsole. Altogether, this release blends nostalgia with modern, seasonal appeal, making it a versatile choice for young sneakerheads or anyone seeking a comfortable and stylish addition to their rotation, especially during the cooler months.
