{"product_id":"new-balance-550-syracuse-2021","title":"New Balance 550 'Syracuse' (2021)","description":"The New Balance 550 ‘Syracuse’ (2021) reimagines the heritage basketball silhouette through a refined collegiate lens, drawing inspiration from Syracuse University’s iconic orange and white colour palette. Originally introduced in 1989 as a performance basketball model, the New Balance 550 was revived in collaboration with Aimé Leon Dore, cementing its place in contemporary sneaker culture as a staple that bridges vintage sport aesthetics with modern streetwear appeal. The ‘Syracuse’ edition stands out for its clean execution and bold yet balanced use of colour, reinforcing the model’s timeless versatility.\n\nOverview\nConstructed with a premium white leather upper, the sneaker is accented by vibrant orange overlays that appear across the collar, heel counter, and signature branding elements, delivering a sharp contrast that defines its collegiate identity. Perforated detailing enhances breathability while maintaining the shoe’s structured basketball DNA. A cushioned midsole supports everyday comfort, while the rubber outsole ensures durable traction rooted in its court heritage. The overall composition reflects New Balance’s commitment to understated craftsmanship paired with expressive, heritage-driven storytelling. Authenticity is guaranteed with PUSHAS, where every pair is meticulously authenticated by our team of experts.\n\nKey Highlights\n\nCollegiate-Inspired Colourway: The ‘Syracuse’ theme pays homage to classic university sports branding, featuring a crisp white base contrasted with bold orange accents.\nHeritage Basketball Silhouette: Built on the original 1989 New Balance 550 design, blending retro performance design with modern streetwear relevance.\nPremium Construction \u0026amp; Wearability: Leather upper construction combined with a supportive midsole and durable outsole ensures long-lasting comfort and everyday versatility.\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":54001752768830,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 4.5 \/ W 6","offer_id":54001752801598,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5 \/ W 6.5","offer_id":54001752834366,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5.5 \/ W 7","offer_id":54001752867134,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6 \/ W 7.5","offer_id":54001752899902,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6.5 \/ W 8","offer_id":54001752932670,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7 \/ W 8.5","offer_id":54007264051518,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7.5 \/ W 9","offer_id":54001752965438,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8 \/ W 9.5","offer_id":54001752998206,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8.5 \/ W 10","offer_id":54001753030974,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9 \/ W 10.5","offer_id":54001753063742,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9.5 \/ W 11","offer_id":54007264084286,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10 \/ W 11.5","offer_id":54007264117054,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10.5 \/ W 12","offer_id":54007264149822,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11 \/ W 12.5","offer_id":54007264182590,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11.5 \/ W 13","offer_id":54007264215358,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 12 \/ W 13.5","offer_id":54007264248126,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 13 \/ W 14.5","offer_id":54001753096510,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/8254\/3166\/files\/16498805813765T72ZV7K1184TWGYHZRB_d7c88ff6-3dec-4b23-b216-fa5caf1e2b71.jpg?v=1785504754","url":"https:\/\/soledept.com\/products\/new-balance-550-syracuse-2021","provider":"Sole Dept.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
