·
TRIBUTE TO TWO DYNASTIES
New Balance Numeric looks back with nostalgia and offers us a revamped 480 with a highly recognizable color selection.
A rivalry that defined an era of basketball. That's how New Balance Numeric presents these 480s that pay tribute to the legendary Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. The two franchises with the most NBA titles and that offered several dynasties that are among the most recognized in the history of the American Basketball League.

The Celtics-inspired model is constructed from soft nubuck, predominantly dark green with crisp white detailing highlighting the N logo, liner, and laces. On the other hand, the Lakers version features a primarily leather construction with nubuck detailing on the N logo and collar, adorned in the team’s classic white, purple, and gold hues. This pair also features additional gold detailing along the N logo stitching, 480 branding on the tongue, and tongue lining, capturing the essence of Lakers opulence. Both models sit atop a clean white midsole with themed stitching and are finished with signature colors on the outsole (purple for the Lakers and white for the Celtics), further reinforcing their homage to these historic teams.
Playing in this East/West division in one of the NBA's greatest rivalries, the Eighties 480 pack includes the New Balance Numeric 480 EST and PST, with names referencing each team's time zone and colors based on their respective home and away uniforms.
These new NBN 480s arrive with the tagline "since 83, remixed," and the remix built into the shoe includes the addition of FuelCell foam in the outsole, which provides a propulsive cushioning feel to help you power forward or soar to the rim, depending on your preference.
