Outfit growing feet with the classic 550 for kids. The original 550 debuted in 1989 and left its mark on basketball courts coast to coast. After its initial release, the 550 was shelved before being reintroduced in limited editions in late 2020 and returning to the regular lineup in 2021, quickly becoming a global favorite. The 550's lean, low-top silhouette is a pared-down take on the chunkier styles from the late '80s, while the trusted synthetic and mesh upper is a classic no matter what era.
