New Balance Numeric 480 "Forest Green" NM480EST

The New Balance Numeric 480 “Forest Green” NM480EST is crafted with a keen focus on the essentials required for skateboarding, while also drawing on design elements from basketball footwear of the ’80s and ’90s.

This makes the shoe suitable for both active skateboarding and daily casual wear.

The distinct “Forest Green” colourway of the Numeric 480 adds a visual appeal that is both eye-catching and reflective of skate culture aesthetics. This colour, combined with the shoe’s design that echoes the past while embracing modern technological advances, makes it a noteworthy choice for those who appreciate footwear with a strong performance foundation and historical nods. The New Balance Numeric 480 is therefore positioned as a versatile sneaker, appealing to those who seek a robust, reliable shoe for skateboarding that also fits well within a casual lifestyle setting.
