[Update 22 Jun 2023] Ahead of the Paperboy pop-up event, a third colorway of the thisisneverthat x New Balance 550 has surfaced. Following the brown and pink\/black pairs, a teal green colorway was posted by sneaker account @le.syndrome<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair features the same style of color blocking as the previously-leaked colors, with green dressing most of the canvas upper and black appearing on the cracked “N” logo, sole and liners. As expected, branding of both New Balance and thisisneverthat can be seen on the tongue and heel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Update 19 Jun 2023] There’s nothing to substantiate this but the titular thisisneverthat x New Balance 550 may finally materialize! The two parties are putting together an event at Paperboy Paris to reveal their upcoming collaboration. Putting our Sherlock Holmes hat on, we surmise that it may be these exact 550s, considering the Paperboy mascot on the event poster is dressed in them as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming off of its highly successful 2002R collaboration<\/a> last year, South Korean streetwear label thisisneverthat is poised to reunite with New Balance once more. This time, the duo will work on the New Balance 550.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking through early images, the contemporary streetwear brand has elected to apply brown canvas on the majority of the 550’s upper, while the iconic New Balance “N” logo appears distressed in a full black leather outfit. The laces have also been swapped out with a more rope-like material to better suit the rugged aesthetic, while thisisneverthat and New Balance share real estate on the tongue label. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the back, the South Korean brand’s text logo is embroided onto the heel, while a black textured midsole rounds off the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
