New Balance 480 High Top - Charcoal / Chocolate Brown

New Balance # 480 High Top - Charcoal / Chocolate Brown

The New Balance Numeric 480 High takes the chunky basketball-inspired shape skaters wore through the ’80s and ’90s and rebuilds it properly for life on a board.

A higher cut adds extra ankle coverage, while a reinforced toe and suede-and-mesh upper are ready to handle regular abuse.

Underfoot, a full-length FuelCell midsole brings more cushioning and rebound than you would expect from a classic-looking skate shoe, making the 480 High a strong option for skaters chasing support, impact protection and old-school court style in one solid package.

Key Features

• Full-Length FuelCell Midsole: Responsive cushioning runs the full length of the shoe, adding impact protection and a more energetic feel underfoot.
• Reinforced Toe Cap: Built to handle repeated flick and abrasion through the highest-wear area of the shoe.
• High-Top Construction: Adds extra coverage and support around the ankle while keeping the classic 480 basketball profile.
• Suede and Mesh Upper: Durable suede handles skate wear, while mesh panels help improve airflow and reduce bulk.
• Traditional Lace Closure: Provides a secure, adjustable fit with a familiar skate-shoe feel.
• Basketball-Inspired Design: Draws from the court shoes adopted by skaters through the 1980s and 1990s.
• Built for Skateboarding: The materials, reinforcement and cushioning package are designed for regular use on and off the board.
