New Balance is a very old company, dating back to 1906 when it was founded by William J. Riley. They first sold orthopedic products but transitioned to performance wear by the 1950s.
After Paul Kidd took over, demand rose sky-high with athletes now asking for tailored shoes. In 1961, the New Balance “Trackster” released which was their first performance running shoe.
It had an excellent rippled sole for traction and came in different widths to fit various feet. 1976, New Balance came into the international spotlight by winning the Runner’s World Magazine Award.
Today, it has expanded into making performance sneakers for various sports successfully, including basketball. One of their first basketball sneakers was the 550s which released in 1989 in 2 colorways, red and blue.
This December, the New Balance 550 Red and Blue return again in their original colorways. To estimate their resale values, let’s head over to StockX.
Aime Leon Dore x New Balance 550 Red
Retail Price: $130
Peak Resell: $560
Release Date: 10/09/2020
Colorway: White/Red
This popular collaboration with Aime Leon Dore made these 550s sell out instantly.
The sneakers feature an off white leather upper with red overlays around the collars tongues, and 550 brandings on the sides. An aged white midsole and red/black outsole finish off the look. An overall vintage-styled sneaker, similar to the New Balance 550 Red and Blue.
On StockX, the average selling price is around $270 which is an average gross profit of $140 per pair. The new 550 will likely have a lower resale value since it’s not a collaboration.
New Balance 550 Red and Blue|Closer Look
Retail Price: $130 (TBC)
¥14,300 JPY
Estimated Resell: $160
Release Date: December/01/2020
Colorway: White/Red and White/Blue
Both sneakers feature a perforated white upper that is contrasted by a red or blue hits that stay true to the originals from back in 1989.
Matching color tones can be found on the ‘N’ logo, collars, “New Balance” branding on the tongues, and the “550” beside the laces. A white midsole and blue/black or red/black outsole on each sneaker finish off the look.
Resale Value
I would not sleep on these sneakers as they may sell out and promise some decent profits. Join our Winner’s Circle to help you cop potentially multiple pairs!
Using my estimated resell value of $160, you can expect gross profits of around $30 per pair.
