We don’t know about you, but we feel like we’re always in search of a good pair of sneakers to add to our year-around repertoire. Whether our old ones have fallen apart, gotten irreparably dirty or simply don’t go with our evolving style, we can always use a good shoe recommendation.

For a fresh take on New Balance’s classic 550s, opt for these Aimé Leon Dore X New Balance ones. With two different colorways to choose from—Bouchard opted for the hints of green—they are the perfect off-white sneakers to incorporate into your wardrove.

The tennis pro has great streetwear style, which she has made known on her Instagram time and time again. That is to say, a recommendation from her isn’t one we take lightly.
