UN442SMF
New Balance is proud to present the Numeric 442. A combination of iconic
models from the football archives, the 442 has recognizable New Balance roots — yet is
adopted for skateboarding.
In addition to a FuelCell midsole, additional features include:
● Added TPU protection, underneath the pig suede upper, provides thoughtful
reinforcement for skateability and longevity.
● Fold-over, branded tongue design draws inspiration from football boots.
● Heritage “N” branding with debossed stitching for a classic aesthetic
● Elastic wings to center the tongue provide a more locked-in fit.
● Colorways inspired by historic signature Numeric collections
● NB# branding on heel
“It was exciting to draw inspiration from New Balance’s past while envisioning the 442’s future.
We wanted to honor the football heritage of this iconic model and introduce it to the
skateboarding community.” — Jeff Mikut, Lead Designer, New Balance Numeric
