New Balance 480 Black White

New Balance revisits its ‘80s basketball archives to revive its pioneer basketball shoe, now reintroduced as a clean and classic lifestyle shoe that exudes a timeless style. The New Balance 480 “Black White” is the perfect everyday staple, clad in a tried-and-tested colour palette that goes along with any outfit!

Boston-based sportswear conglomerate New Balance entered the basketball industry with the debut of the NB 480 in 1983. Worn by the likes of NBA legends James Worthy and Michael Leon Carr, the low-top sneaker had its own Michael Jordan moment in 1984 during a photo shoot with Life Magazine. Decades later, the brand revives this hoops pioneer into the NB lifestyle offerings. This colourway has a predominantly black leather upper, juxtaposed with white tones encompassing the edges of the N logos and the NB branding on the tongue and heel. The low-profile rubber sole also has the same white hue to wrap up the no-trills, no-frills design of this early ‘80s icon.
