The New Balance 480 Kids' Basketball Shoe is engineered to support the dynamic movements of young athletes. On the court, its design provides the stability and comfort needed for quick pivots, jumps, and sprints. For example, during a basketball game, the shoe's structure helps in secure footwork during dribbling and shooting. Off the court, the shoe doubles as a stylish and durable option for school, playgrounds, or everyday adventures. Kids will find them comfortable for extended wear, whether running around with friends or walking to classes. Its Triple Black colorway also makes it a versatile choice for various outfits and occasions. Always ensure laces are tied securely to prevent trips and enhance support.
Lacing: Ensure the shoe is laced snugly but not too tightly, allowing for natural foot movement without slippage. Use all eyelets for maximum support.
Fit Check: Have your child try on the shoes with their typical sports socks. There should be about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Activity: Ideal for basketball, general sports, school, and casual daily wear.
Attire: Pairs well with athletic wear, jeans, and casual clothing.
Cleaning: For general dirt, wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure shoes are clean before storing for extended periods.
