- Is the New Balance 480 good for everyday wear?
- Yes. It is a lifestyle sneaker with a cushioned Ortholite insole and a rubber outsole, so it handles walking and standing well. It is not built for running or court play.
- How does the 480 compare with the Nike Dunk Low?
- Both are low-top court-inspired sneakers with leather uppers. The 480 adds an Ortholite insole for softer cushioning, while the Dunk has more colorways and cultural following.
- Does the New Balance 480 run true to size?
- Most buyers go true to size, but some with wider feet size up half a size because the leather fits snugly at first.
- Is the leather upper real leather?
- The upper is leather, and owners describe it as durable and easy to wipe clean. It can feel stiff for the first few wears.
- Can I use the 480 for basketball?
- No. It is a casual lifestyle shoe inspired by basketball designs, not a performance model. Its cushioning and support are meant for everyday wear.
- What is in the box?
- You get the pair of sneakers as shown. Insoles are already fitted, and no extra laces or accessories are included.
