The New Balance Numeric 480 is a high-performance trainer designed for adult skateboarders and street-style enthusiasts who value a blend of 80s-90s aesthetic and modern durability. Featuring a full-length Fuel Cell midsole and reinforced construction, these shoes offer exceptional responsiveness and impact protection; however, the suede upper requires consistent care to maintain its texture and appearance in wet or dusty conditions.

Yes, the Fuel Cell midsole provides excellent cushioning that makes them very comfortable for extended periods of walking.
Use a dry suede brush or eraser. Avoid using water or standard laundry detergent, as these can damage the texture of the suede.
Yes, the design includes specific features like a reinforced toe and responsive cushioning tailored for the demands of skate performance.
Most users find the Numeric 480 fits true to size, but the performance padding provides a snug, secure fit.
No, machine washing can cause the suede to shrink and the adhesive bonds to weaken. Always stick to manual cleaning methods.
The padding in the Numeric series is substantial. Wear them around the house for a few hours to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape.
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently buff the suede in a circular motion, which lifts the fibers and restores the original texture.
While the reinforcement is designed to wear down, you can use a matching black suede renovator spray to touch up the color and protect the material.
For the best fit, ensure you are selecting your standard adult UK size, though the performance-focused internal padding may feel snug initially. To maintain the integrity of the suede material, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt after every use. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can warp the adhesive and stiffen the suede. For deep stains, utilize a suede-specific eraser or cleaning solution, avoiding water submersion.
