Japanese label AURALEE and New Balance have teamed up to release a sophisticated take on the popular 550 basketball oxford silhouette.

AURALEE’s take on the Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance Navy arrives in an Off-White “Pistachio Ecru” hue constructed in premium leather. Its tongue, which traditionally features a basketball pattern graphic logo has been replaced for a solid piece of leather to give the shoe a more minimal and clean design.
