The New Balance 550 White/Carolina Blue is a college basketball-inspired colorway of the vintage basketball shoe that salutes the North Carolina Tar Heels with its design. The White/Carolina Blue version of the popular lifestyle and retro basketball shoe by New Balance features the team uniform colors of the Tar Heels, Michael Jordans alma mater, for a throwback look. A combination of smooth and perforated white leather appears on the base. Both the N and 550 branding on the mid-panel and forefoot is designed in Carolina Blue. Classic NB detailing in black is found on the heel. Underfoot, New Balance gives the rubber midsole a cream hue as a salute to the old school vibe of the basketball shoe.
