The Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 550 'Conversations Amongst Us' is designed in collaboration with Black Soles, an employee-led initiative that aims to amplify Black voices within New Balance and the broader footwear industry. Inspired by meaningful speech among friends and family, the bass features a subtle cream finish throughout the upper constructed from canvas, leather, and suede. The signature 'N' logo is outlined in black, while 'Conversations Amongst Us' is inscribed on the woven tongue label and custom insole. The shoe rides on a previously yellowed rubber cupsole, with an exposed EVA wedge on the medial side.
