New Balance 480 - Brown/White

The New Balance 480 trainers are inspired by basketball shoes and offer a classic aesthetic, but they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They may not provide the advanced support and cushioning needed for intense athletic performance.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly. Always allow suede to air dry.

Suede is made from the underside of the leather, giving it a soft, napped finish. Leather is the outer layer of the hide, typically smoother and more durable. The 480 combines both for a mix of texture and resilience.

It is generally advisable to avoid wearing suede and leather trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the materials and lead to discoloration or staining. Ensure they are dried properly if they get damp.

Unisex sizing means the shoe is designed to fit both men and women. You may need to consult a size conversion chart to find your equivalent size, as men's and women's sizing can differ.

The rubber outsoles are designed for durability and traction for everyday wear. They offer good resistance to abrasion, contributing to the overall longevity of the trainers with regular use and care.

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.

For minor scuffs on leather, a damp cloth or a specialized leather conditioner can often buff them out. Regular conditioning helps prevent deep scuffs.

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and consider the unisex fit. If between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for a comfortable fit, especially if wearing thicker socks.

This can occur when suede is wet. Ensure shoes are dry and consider using a suede protector spray. If transfer occurs, try cleaning the affected area gently with a damp cloth.
