New Balance Numeric just gave the fan-favorite 480 a strong, stylish new makeover with two clean colorways, both hitting shops now.
Nothing over-the-top or gimmicky here—just a solid skate shoe that looks as good as it performs. Personally, I’m backing both of these. Simple and super easy on the eyes. Get a closer look below:

Originally a shoe for hoopers, both the low and high-version of the New Balance Numeric 480 have fully cemented themselves in skateboarding, and anyone who has skated a pair knows they offer the perfect blend of durability, board feel, and comfort.

Reynolds had his own 480 colorway. Jamie Foy currently has one. Multiple shops have joined forces with NB# on 480 collabs—it’s just a proper shoe. Tested and proven by some of the best in the game.
“Inspired by styles worn by skaters in the ’80s and ’90s, these shoes are built for life on and off the board,” New Balance Numeric mentions on its site. And I simply have to agree. On and off the board, these things deliver.
Look for these two new colorways, along with all the latest NB# offerings at your local shop or secure a pair online. They’re officially out in the wild, so make moves and cop ’em if you want ’em!
