The New Balance Numeric 480 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. Features black suede uppers with black and white details, atop a black and gum sole. It offers slight padding in the collar and a mesh underside tongue for added comfort. For extended durability, it has a double-stitch reinforced toe and double-stitching throughout to reduce blow-outs. The shoe includes a New Balance Abzorb insole for added impact protection and a Fuelcell midsole. New Balance branding details are present on the inner and out panels, tongue, and heel. Please note: these New Balance shoes come up small, so we advise buying a half-size larger than you normally would.

Made with a black and white color combination, the rubber outsoles pop in the brown signature NB style. A lightweight, breathable upper with a black lace enclosure gives you a comfortable shoe for leisure or sport.
