The New Balance 550 AURALEE ecru, designed with the help of the Tokyo fashion label, appears monochrome. The retro basketball shoe emerges with a leather construction on the upper, finished entirely in Ecru and supported by perforations for breathability. The only deviation from the look is provided by the New Balance branded heel patch, while a leather tongue forgoes the usual oversized woven tongue tag. The sole is constructed with an EVA foam section to ensure superior comfort.
