The colour combination of the New Balance 550 Marquette is white, university blue, and yellow.

The New Balance 550 Marquette has a traditional lace-up fastening system, mesh and synthetic material that breathes, and collar and tongue padding. The cushioning technology in the shoe's midsole acts as a cushion, stabiliser, and shock absorber. The outsole of the shoe is made of rubber that resists slipping, providing stability. "NB" is printed on the heel of the shoe and "new balance 550 NB" is printed on the tongue. The sneaker also features "550" text on one side and the "N" emblem on the lateral sides.
