Style code BB550A2, $130 retail. Smooth white leather upper, Natural Green overlays on the collar, heel, and inner lining, a pilled yellow leather “N” logo embossed on each side.

The outsole carries off-white, Natural Green, and yellow together, which ties the upper into the pre-yellowed midsole cleanly. Natural Green leans deeper than the lighter sage tones in later releases, closer to muted forest. Dual Aimé Leon Dore and “NB” branding sits on the back heels.
