Jovani Hernandez You don’t have to know the full history of the Enjoy product shots of the pair here below, courtesy of Melbourne, Australias to understand that it’s currently having a “moment.” Scheduled to arrive in collaborative styles by Comme des Garçons Homme (and possibly Joe Freshgoods) throughout 2022, Steven Smith’s 1989 design has maintained the sneaker world’s attention via a compelling series of general releases, with the latest arriving in the form of the model’s first all-“Black” ensemble.
A relic of the Boston-based brand’s 20th century foray into basketball, the Enjoy product shots of the pair here below, courtesy of Melbourne, Australias has predominantly favored two-tone colorways rooted in the sport’s “golden age”. The newly-surfaced stealthy ensemble, then, serves as a refreshing departure from retro flair while offering a much more versatile, fashionable option. The suede accents that’ve graced New Balance 550‘s collaborations are abandoned for a mostly smooth leather build throughout the upper; mesh maintains its stronghold on the tongue and collar area.
Aug 19, 2022 New Balance silhouette opt for a slightly-lighter shade of “Black,” as does part of the made-for-basketball sole unit underfoot. EVA foam midsoles feature a textured finish that injects further contrast to the pair, despite its monochromatic look, while stability clips on which the 550 sits proffers a “smokey” aesthetic. The remainder of the “NON-MARKING SOLE” reverts to a “Triple-Back” colorway that’ll surely ame the shoes a go-to option for old and new fans alike.
