Perfect sneakers, perfect fit combo. Seriously, Pascal looks like a drippy, off-duty celeb—oh, wait.
These sneakers are part of Rich Paul's ongoing collabs with New Balance, which have already turned out a few iconic kicks. But when one of the best sports agents in the biz links with one of the best shoemakers in the biz, what else could be expected besides a damn cool, comfy pair of sneakers?
Because Rich Paul's New Balance 550s are so high in demand, they're currently only available at StockX, and with a pretty steep markup, too. But don't sweat—as always, we've got you covered. Below, you can shop New Balance 550s that just need a dope T-shirt, some fitted jeans, and probably a great 'stache, too, for the Pedro Pascal look.
