New Balance Numeric 440 "Interstellar Astro Dust" NM440PPE

The New Balance Numeric 440 ‘Interstellar Astro Dust’ NM440PPE is a low-profile skate shoe, ingeniously blending heritage design elements from New Balance’s classic 1970s running shoes with modern skateboarding functionalities. Central to its design is the C-CAP heel wedge, meticulously engineered for optimal impact absorption while ensuring the shoe remains lightweight. This feature provides the dexterity and board feel of a vulcanized shoe, coupled with the protective qualities of a cupsole.

In terms of durability, the shoe’s upper is constructed with dual layers of suede in high-wear areas, enhancing its resilience against the rigours of skateboarding. Additionally, mesh side panels are integrated for increased breathability, contributing significantly to foot comfort during prolonged wear. The inclusion of reflective heel perforations is not only a safety feature, improving visibility, but also adds a practical aspect to the shoe’s design.

The Numeric 440 is equipped with NDurance rubber outsole technology, which significantly boosts durability, particularly in areas prone to high wear and tear. Complementing this is the C-CAP midsole, which delivers supportive cushioning. The shoe’s cupsole construction further reinforces its longevity and wear-resistance.

An adjustable lace closure allows for a customisable and secure fit, accommodating different foot shapes and sizes. The New Balance Numeric 440 ‘Interstellar Astro Dust’ NM440PPE, with its unique colourway and functional design, is ideally suited for skateboarders who demand a shoe that offers durability, comfort, and effective impact protection, making it a solid choice for both skateboarding and casual wear.
