The New Balance Numeric 440 is a go-to shoe for those looking for a combination of a skateable shoe with an aesthetic that can fit into their off-the-board style, making a great shoe for on or off the board. It features a black suede upper with mesh underlays complemented with white detail hits all atop a gum sole. For added comfort, there is slight padding in the collar and a mesh tongue. The triple-stitch reinforced toe ensures extended durability, and mesh side panelling along with double-stitching throughout reduces blow-outs. The cup sole construction with a foam wedge heel enhances underfoot comfort. New Balance branding details are present on the inner and outer panels, tongue, and heel. Note: these New Balance shoes come up small, so we advise buying a half a size larger than you normally would. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. This is a cupsole skate shoe designed for the everyday skater, with input from the NB Numeric skate team.
