New Balance 550, UNC White University Blue

Chapel Hill Blue on the 550

The January 25 2022 release nicknamed UNC pulled its color tones from the University of North Carolina. NB 550 UNC White University Blue uses style code BB550HL1, $110 retail. Smooth white leather upper, Team Carolina sky blue accents on the ankle collar, outline of the N logo, and outsole. Subtle black accents balance the build, with the white midsole sitting atop a sky blue and black outsole.

University Blue here leans pastel rather than saturated, closer to powder blue than the deeper UNC blue some Jordan releases use. The N logo outline reads as a sketch effect rather than a solid logo overlay, which gives the side panels a unique visual texture. Stays a clean spring rotation pick in the 550 reps catalog. Sits with the rest of the inline colorways on the New Balance 550 reps page. Standard 550 fit, TTS. Browse shoe reps.
