Jovani Hernandez New Balance 550 Air Jordan 5 has kept relatively quiet throughout the first four months of the new year. Although it’s likely to allow the spotlight for other NB sneakers, the late Steve Jobs-approved silhouette has recently surfaced in a grey and purple colorway that might suggest otherwise.
Akin to countless iterations before it, the forthcoming pair indulges in a greyscale arrangement across its fabric base. Premium pig suede overlays from toe to spine deviate from the understated tone in favor of varying shades of purple; mudguards boast the darkest hue. Elsewhere, off-white swathes appear along the tongue, sitting just above charcoal-reminiscent “N” logos at the mid-foot. Tongues and heel underlays indulge in a shimmering aesthetic, which seldom appears on New Balance‘s footwear. Underfoot, ABZORB-featuring sole units maintain an oft-utilized split style that delivers some vintage-sensibility to the 15-year-old design.
An official NewBalance.com launch may be in the works, but this 992 is currently listed as arriving to select boutiques tomorrow, May 1st.
