Toddlers Can Now Enjoy The New Balance 550

The New Balance 550‘s popularity amongst the high school and older crowd can’t be denied, but the decades-old design can now also be enjoyed by toddlers.

Akin to other modified versions of the brand’s most popular products, the toddler’s 550 features a bungee lace closure and hook-and-loop strap across the top of the upper. The pair includes the illusion of a traditional laces setup, but the New Balance proposition only achieves lockdown via the aforementioned velcro top strap. To kick off the next leg of the 550’s dominance of the footwear market, the New England institution has outfitted the updated version of Steven Smith’s design from 1989 in a white and grey color combination that enables year round wear. Toddlers may outgrow the shoes before parents know it, but they’ll at least be fresh while they can still fit them.
