The New Balance Numeric 480 is a high-performance trainer designed for adult males who need a durable shoe capable of transitioning from skate sessions to everyday streetwear. Inspired by 80s and 90s skate culture, the shoe combines a FuelCell midsole with an Abzorb insole for premium impact protection and comfort, though users should be aware that these trainers have a tendency to run small and generally require ordering a half-size up for an optimal fit.

While designed with skate performance in mind, the comfort technologies make them excellent for casual, everyday wear.
Use a soft brush to remove dust and a suede-specific eraser for spots. Avoid water and standard detergents.
The Abzorb insole and FuelCell midsole offer a supportive platform that is more stable and cushioned than traditional vulcanized skate shoes.
Suede is a natural material and will conform slightly to your foot shape after a few days of wear.
The shoes come with a reinforced toe cap, but avoid dragging your toe excessively on concrete to prolong the life of the stitching.
Since the model runs small, those with wide feet should definitely size up by at least a half-size to ensure adequate width.
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-lace with less tension, or consider using thinner socks until the suede breaks in.
Use a suede eraser or a dry, clean rubber eraser to gently buff the scuffed area and restore the nap of the material.
Use the final eyelet to perform a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel more firmly.
To ensure your New Balance Numeric 480s last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
