New Balance 480 White Pink Haze

After joining the brand’s Numeric skate sub-label, the classic New Balance 480 returns with its original construction to deliver a lifestyle-focused identity. This silhouette debuted in 1983 as New Balance’s first basketball shoe, paving the way for succeeding models like the NB 550 and 650 to thrive in the late ‘80s. The New Balance 480 “White Pink Haze” boasts a pristine white and pink colour combination for a minimalist, casual vibe.

New Balance introduced the NB 480 (formerly the BB680) to enter the competitive basketball footwear scene. The brand tapped NBA stars from rival teams Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics, specifically James Worthy and M.L. Carr, to rock the silhouette, eventually forming a cult classic fanbase. After 40 years, the low-profile silhouette is back in all its glory, this time as a lifestyle shoe. This colourway flaunts a clean white leather construction with pink accents encompassing the N logos, collar, NB branding, and outsoles. The minimalist design makes up for an authentic style that resonates with early ‘80s basketball shoes, offering a lot of wearability for casual getaways. An Ortholite sockliner and rigid heel counter provide adequate support and cushioning to keep you comfortable throughout the day.
