New Balance Numeric Franky Villani 417 "Stucco" UN417CWB

The New Balance Numeric Franky Villani 417 “Stucco” marks a big moment for skate footwear fans. This is Franky Villani’s first pro model, and it reflects his personality straight away. Creative. Unpredictable. Built for real skating, yet easy to wear off the board too.

The silhouette keeps things classic. A low-top profile that feels familiar from the first wear. Clean lines. Subtle branding. The muted stucco colourway gives the shoe a laid-back look that works with loose denim, cargos, or work trousers. It’s understated, but it still carries character.

Materials play a key role here. The upper uses trusted skate-ready construction, offering durability where it matters most. Down below, the vulcanised sole delivers excellent board feel and consistent grip. You stay connected to the deck, whether you’re pushing through the streets or locking into ledges.

The NDurance rubber outsole adds extra life to the shoe. High-wear zones are reinforced, helping the Franky Villani 417 handle repeated sessions without falling apart. That’s something skaters in the UK climate will appreciate, especially if you’re skating rough spots or wet pavements.

What really sets this pair apart is the influence behind it. The colours and overall feel are inspired by Franky Villani’s own outlook and creative style. It doesn’t feel forced. It feels personal. That authenticity is why this model resonates beyond the skate scene.
