I know there’s been a ton of hype around Andrew Reynolds’ signature 933, and for good reason—we’d been waiting for those for quite a while! But even The Boss added his own personal touch to the 480 before his signature shoe dropped. That says a lot in itself.
These new colorways are available now at select shops and the Numeric site. If you’re already a fan of the 480, you should probably snag a pair of these freshies before they disappear. And if you haven’t skated them yet? Well, now’s as good a time as any to find out why they’ve become such a staple in the NB# lineup.
