Originally rooted in New Balance’s late-1980s performance basketball lineage, the 550 has been reintroduced as a lifestyle staple, blending retro design language with contemporary streetwear appeal. This iteration stands out with its Lakers-inspired combination of purple, gold, and white tones, delivering a clean yet statement-driven aesthetic that elevates the silhouette’s timeless structure.\n\nOverview\nBuilt on the classic New Balance 550 framework, this edition features a low-top profile with a predominantly leather upper, perforated detailing for breathability, and layered panel construction that reinforces its vintage court identity. The colour blocking draws clear inspiration from traditional Lakers hues, giving the sneaker a vibrant yet balanced visual presence. A cushioned midsole paired with a durable rubber outsole ensures everyday wearability while maintaining its heritage basketball DNA. Authenticity is guaranteed with PUSHAS, where every pair is meticulously authenticated by our team of experts.\n\nKey Highlights\n\nLakers-Inspired Colour Palette: A striking blend of purple, gold, and white that pays homage to classic basketball aesthetics while maintaining everyday versatility.\nHeritage Basketball Silhouette: Based on the original New Balance 550 design from the late 1980s, reintroduced as a modern lifestyle essential.\nPremium Leather Construction: Structured leather upper with perforated panels delivers durability, comfort, and a clean retro finish.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-retail (UA-grade), meaning these items are produced in the same factories and to similar specifications as retail versions, but are not sold through authorised brand channels, allowing us to offer them at significantly lower prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReturns \u0026amp; Exchanges:\u003c\/strong\u003e We offer a 30-day return and refund policy from the date of delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e We ship worldwide and offer free worldwide shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Images:\u003c\/strong\u003e All images shown are of the actual product and accurately represent what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInspection Requests:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-shipment inspection images can be provided upon request at checkout, which may extend processing times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sole Dept is an independent retailer and is not affiliated with any brands shown, and all trademarks and copyrights belong to their respective owners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sole Dept","offers":[{"title":"US M 4 \/ W 5.5","offer_id":54001753129278,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 4.5 \/ W 6","offer_id":54001753162046,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5 \/ W 6.5","offer_id":54001753194814,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5.5 \/ W 7","offer_id":54001753227582,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6 \/ W 7.5","offer_id":54001753260350,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6.5 \/ W 8","offer_id":54007269982526,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7 \/ W 8.5","offer_id":54001753293118,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7.5 \/ W 9","offer_id":54007270015294,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8 \/ W 9.5","offer_id":54007270048062,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8.5 \/ W 10","offer_id":54007270080830,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9 \/ W 10.5","offer_id":54001753325886,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9.5 \/ W 11","offer_id":54001753358654,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10 \/ W 11.5","offer_id":54001753391422,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10.5 \/ W 12","offer_id":54007270113598,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11 \/ W 12.5","offer_id":54007270146366,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11.5 \/ W 13","offer_id":54007270179134,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 12 \/ W 13.5","offer_id":54007270211902,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 13 \/ W 14.5","offer_id":54007270244670,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/8254\/3166\/files\/New-Balance-550-_Lakers_-_2022_-side_0bdbf331-69f1-453d-907a-e7c7f54dcb90.jpg?v=1785504404","url":"https:\/\/soledept.com\/products\/new-balance-550-lakers-2022","provider":"Sole Dept.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
