550 WMNS Blue Haze

The Women’s New Balance 550 “UNC” is a women’s-exclusive version of the vintage basketball shoe in a colorway inspired by the North Carolina Tar Heels college basketball team’s uniform colors. The “UNC,” in spite of its nickname, has no ties to the Tar Heels, but nonetheless draws favorably from the popular basketball team with its white leather construction and light blue accents. Specifically, the shoe has a blue detailing in the form of an “N” logo on either side, “550” branding on its forefoot, “NB” on the heel, and “New Balance 550” detailing on the tongue. A white rubber midsole is paired with a white and blue outsole. Release date: January 8, 2023 Blue Haze
