New Balance Numeric 480 – Chocolate Brown: Retro Basketball Style with Modern Skate Performance

Inspired by the shoes skaters wore throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the New Balance Numeric 480 blends classic court aesthetics with modern skate functionality. Designed for life on the board and beyond, this model delivers durability, comfort, and a timeless silhouette.

The mixed suede and leather upper provides a premium look while offering the structure and abrasion resistance needed for skateboarding. A reinforced toe area adds extra protection in high-wear zones, helping the shoe hold up through demanding sessions.

Underfoot, FuelCell foam cushioning delivers responsive propulsion, creating a subtle forward-driving sensation with every step. This energetic feel supports both skate performance and everyday comfort.

Drawing visual inspiration from traditional basketball shoes, the Numeric 480 offers a familiar, versatile style that works equally well in the skatepark and on the street.
