The timeless 480 silhouette has been given a face lift and beefing up to accommodate the features that a skate shoe requires, creating the New Balance Numeric 480. These features include a durable, thin cup sole, providing amazing grip, flick and stability without compromising on board feel; a high quality suede upper with reinforcement in high wearing areas, and FuelCell technology to help accommodate your foot with high impacts as well as keeping the footbed incredibly comfortable.
