“New Balance Numeric 480 Skate Shoe Unveils ‘Trail Pack’ Collection”
New Balance has excelled in various sneaker sub-genres, including lifestyle, running, and basketball footwear, achieving remarkable revenues in 2023. Despite its success, the brand’s skate division faces tough competition from established players like Nike SB and Vans. However, the New Balance Numeric 480, endorsed by Andrew Reynolds, aims to change that narrative. This silhouette, blending skate performance with basketball heritage and outdoor aesthetics, is set to elevate New Balance’s presence in skateboarding.
The “Trail Pack” introduces two pairs inspired by classic New Balance hiking shoes. One features grey/navy suede, while the other opts for leather tan/burgundy treatments. The former offers a subtle design, while the latter embraces vibrant teal accents for a more trail-inspired look. Both pairs feature rope laces and black sole units, emphasizing their outdoor theme.
Available in unisex sizing on newbalance.com for $100 each, these shoes are now ready for purchase. For more New Balance updates, explore the newly unveiled Joe Freshgoods New Balance 1000.
