What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I like the Numeric 480 for skaters who want a little more cushion without losing board control. The FuelCell midsole gives noticeable pop when pushing, and the reinforced toe holds up well during flip tricks. It feels classic, but rides way more modern than it looks." We reach for the Numeric 480 Shoe when we want classic skate style with updated performance baked in. Inspired by basketball silhouettes from the '80s and '90s, this shoe brings a clean, timeless look that works just as well cruising town as it does locking into a ledge. Underfoot, FuelCell foam adds a responsive, energetic feel that helps reduce fatigue during long sessions. The durable leather upper and reinforced toe cap are built to handle repeated contact with grip tape, while the stable sole keeps landings controlled. The Numeric 480 blends heritage aesthetics with modern skate tech for everyday reliability.
