Loved the shoe, but the Color Bleeds
wore a couple times only but the blue color started bleeding on the shoe laces and on the other areas.

A drop in quality
I'm writing this 3 months into owning. I have also owned 550s, and other new balance shoes in the past and had no issues. Unfortunately with these I have noticed a sharp dip in quality.
These are not nearly as comfy as previous generations due to the cheaper materials used.
The inside heel has worn within 2 months and is ripping open.
Additionally there's a chemically/gluey smell to them that has come out over time, that I have never had with a pair of shoes before, and it makes them very off putting to wear.
I would avoid this particular generation of 550s.
