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. The 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.

About The Brand
Founded in Boston in 1906, New Balance has earned its place as one of footwear’s most respected names through more than a century of fit, function and proper shoemaking. The brand still operates its own factories in the United States and United Kingdom, carrying a manufacturing heritage that few major footwear companies can match. New Balance Numeric brings that same depth of experience into skateboarding, combining its proven cushioning and support technology with purpose-built construction, genuine board feel and direct input from one of the strongest teams in skateboarding. The result is skate footwear with real heritage behind it, built to be skated rather than simply borrowing the look.
