New Balance Numeric 480 - Sea Salt

Clean & Technical

The New Balance Numeric 480 Sea Salt draws inspiration directly from the styles worn by skaters in the '80s and '90s, who adopted basketball shoes for their durability. Re-engineered with a premium touch, this version delivers enhanced comfort and durability without sacrificing its legendary look.

Monochromatic Design & Materials

Clean and luxurious aesthetics:

• Sea Salt Colorway: A trendy monochromatic beige/cream palette covers a complex upper mixing soft suede and smooth leather panels for a rich texture.

• Heritage Silhouette: Features classic basketball codes with the raised "N" logo and a perforated toe box for breathability.

Modern Skate Performance

• FuelCell Technology: The midsole features FuelCell foam, delivering a propulsive feel and dynamic energy return to help drive you forward.

• Durable Reinforcements: The toe cap is specifically reinforced to withstand griptape abrasion during tricks, ensuring extended longevity.

• Stability: The reinforced heel and padded collar ensure perfect ankle lockdown.

The "Creamy Fit" Tip

This colorway is the perfect neutral base. For a chill skate look, pair these 480s with olive cargo pants or light bleach-wash denim. The shoe has a bit of chunk, so it handles wide leg openings very well.
