FAQs

What are the New Balance 480 trainers made of?

The uppers are composed of 56% leather, 39% textile, and 5% other materials. The lining is 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

The New Balance 480 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and streetwear. While they offer comfort and support for walking and everyday activities, they are not specialized for high-impact sports or running.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede-specific cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by brushing to revive the texture. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the New Balance 480 series is available in various colorways and material combinations, including beige suede and white, and other leather options.

What is the fastening type?

The trainers feature a traditional lace-up fastening for a secure and adjustable fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the leather, suede, and internal structure. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What does '480L' signify in some model names?

The 'L' in some model names, such as 480L, often indicates specific material choices or minor design variations within the 480 series, but they generally maintain the core retro basketball aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Suede looking dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a specialized suede cleaner may be required, followed by brushing to restore the nap.

Leather scuffs or marks

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner specifically designed for the color may help mask them. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces wear out

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and color. New Balance offers replacement laces, or they can be found at most shoe repair shops or online retailers.

Sole feels slippery

Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free of mud or debris. If the sole is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.

Pros

  • Stylish retro basketball-inspired design.
  • Durable materials suitable for everyday use.
  • Comfortable textile lining and cushioning.
  • Versatile for casual wear and streetwear.
  • Secure lace-up fastening for a customized fit.

Cons

  • Primarily leather and suede, requiring specific care to maintain appearance.
  • May not be suitable for athletic performance due to their streetwear focus.
  • Flat heel design might not offer the arch support some individuals need.
  • The 'other materials' in the upper could be a concern for those with specific material sensitivities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup; simply unbox and wear. Ensure they fit comfortably before regular use.

Compatibility: The New Balance 480 trainers are designed as adult footwear and are compatible with standard sock wear. They are best suited for casual attire.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers, spot clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, especially due to the leather and suede components. For suede areas, a specialized suede brush can be used to remove dirt and restore texture. Allow trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
