The 480 was New Balance's first basketball shoe, made in Maine and released in 1983. It is a lifestyle sneaker now, and the leather build and low stack make it the most understated retro option in the line, closer to a court shoe than the chunky 574 or 530.

Features

  • Leather upper in navy with white, with a perforated toe box
  • Ortholite insert, which New Balance uses for cushioning and moisture control
  • Rubber cup outsole for traction and stability
  • Extended saddle and a sturdy heel counter for support
  • Padded collar and a lace closure
  • Unisex sizing 4 through 16 in standard width

Best For

  • Everyday casual wear, and dressing up more easily than a runner does
  • Anyone who wants a lower, slimmer retro sneaker than the 574 or 530
  • The broadest size run we carry in a New Balance lifestyle shoe, up to a 16
  • Standard width feet, since this one is offered in D only
