The Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 550 ‘Conversations Amongst Us’ is designed in collaboration with the Black Soles, an employee-led initiative that aims to amplify Black voices within New Balance and the footwear industry at large. Inspired by meaningful discourse between friends and family, the low-top showcases a subtle cream finish throughout an upper built with canvas, leather, and suede. The signature ‘N’ logo is outlined in black, while ‘Conversations Amongst Us’ is inscribed on the woven tongue tag and custom sockliner. The sneaker rides on a pre-yellowed rubber cupsole, featuring an exposed EVA wedge on the medial side.
