Inspired by the New Balance BB680, production of the original 480 began in 1983 and quickly became a favorite in the basketball community. Forty years later, New Balance Numeric brought the 480’s coveted cushioning from the court to the streets adding a double-layered, widened toe cap for durability, a modified tread for improved traction, and sturdy heel counter for stability and support. For this release, a full-grain leather and ballistic mesh upper utilizes GORE-TEX technology for a weatherproof take on the re-mixed classic.
