New Balance 550 - Wit / Natuurlijk indigo / Bordeaux

The leather upper has held up well after a few weeks of wear, and the mesh overlay keeps my feet from overheating. These fit true to size with enough room in the toe box for walking around all day.

The padded collar makes these way more comfortable than I expected for a retro sneaker, and the burgundy hits on the tongue add just the right pop of color. I’ve worn them three days straight and they already look broken in.

The leather upper has that clean, slightly structured feel straight out of the box, and the burgundy hits on the heel and side panel are even richer in person. Laced them up for a full day of walking and the padded collar kept things comfortable without any break-in drama.
