However, the model&#8217;s debut in 1989 was actually not as well received, with it falling into obscurity in the 90s. It was not until Teddy Santis, the Creative Director of New Balance&#8217;s Made in USA line, discovered it in 2018 did the model have a rebirth.<\/p>\n<p>Santis&#8217; penchant for the lesser-known silhouettes meant that he was set on making crowds love the New Balance 550 again, and that he did with the wildly successful Aim\u00e9 Leon Dore x New Balance \u201cInternational Friendship Through Basketball\u201d collection.<\/p>\n<p>And now, the brand wants you to fall in love with the New Balance 550 again with a heart-themed colorway up for grabs. Dubbed the New Balance 550 &#8220;Valentine&#8217;s Day&#8221;, this new iteration sees a perforated white leather upper overlayed with gentle pink suede. Burgundy red accents are found on the heel, lining the lip of the tongue and tracing the puffed N logo.\u00a0Driving the Valentine&#8217;s Day message are heart graphics that decorate the heel and insoles. The shoe rounds out with a mix of red and pink on the outsole while the midsole has the classic Santis &#8220;aged&#8221; look.<\/p>\n<p>This women exclusive New Balance 550 Valentine&#8217;s Day has actually made its debut on UK-based retailer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.modern-notoriety.com\/new-balance-550-valentines-day-bbw550zv-release-date\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zalando<\/a>, but is currently out of stock.
