The New Balance 650R 'White Red' is a high-top rendition of the widely popular 550 models, a throwback basketball shoe from the 1980s that was brought back in 2020 through a partnership with Aimé Leon Dore. The upper is made of white leather, with red branding accents and a cushioned mesh collar to match. A midfoot overlay has red trim that contrasts with the perforated design. The shoe is supported by a sturdy rubber cupsole that is distinguished on the medial side by an exposed EVA wedge.
