NewBalanceNumeric 480 High | Natas Kaupas 

Natas was the first to have a signature model shoe

New Balance has been killing it with the collabs lately! Wish that their shoes weren’t so narrow, otherwise I would buy em. And all the wide pairs online always sell out 😢

I have a set of these headed my way. The monkey is from his mini panther model. The monkey is chilling in between the leaves.

The monkey(s) is in the tree/grass on one of his early grapichs on sma/santa cruz decks. Tried too send you a picture on instagram but I only managed to text you there. So no picture😊

These are absolutely insane

I was stoked when I saw images of these earlier... showed my girl these... then the dunkin NB 480 popped up on my feed reviewed by you. I'm a big 480 fan after getting my Jeremy Fish 303 boards pair. My favorite shoe so far this year.

Agreed. The 480s have been extremely durable for me and they are comfortable too. It’s a toss up what my favorite skate shoe is between the 480s and sb dunks. I like the collar padding in the sb dunks and the way my kickflips flip. But the 480s have more impact support and definitely will out last the dunk and most other shoes. And they skate good too butThey take a little longer to break in than a dunk. I just wish they would put a little more padding in the collar and they’d be perfect 👌🏼

One of the first things I got into on youtube was watching some old natas parts. Good stuff!

The green lace swap they included would go perfect! Really solid pair of 480s!

Absolutely phenomenal, maybe my favorite shoe sense the magnus walker x ishod dunk

I trust Bluetile and only Bluetile on skateboarding news and footwear 👍

I pulled the trigger today (Sunday after drop) and really excited to try out the NB 480s for the first time. This colorway and collaboration could not have been more perfect for an old, old head like me. I've been pretty disappointed at SB Dunk sizing in the past couple of years. Some fit perfect (recent court purple re-release, Crushed D.C., for example) while some fit like a whole different (smaller) shoe. I went with my normal size 12 on the NB 480s based on your info and from other's experiences, too. Thanks as always for the great videos. FWIW: I'd love to see more Bluetile t-shirts using the heavyweight, loose and boxy tshirt blanks (e.g. L.A. Apparel) and since you've got the print shop next door, maybe offer up some special designs on pre-order, to guarantee sell-thru and minimize excess inventory? I truly think there are some opportunities there to get Bluetile apparel up to another level (see how Uncivilized Brand model does it from Foamer Simpson on RU-vid, as an example)

Cool to see an old school head getting a brand new shoe

Great review on these, colordations calling my name fo sho💚

120 bucks!??? Sheeesh. I might have to cop my 2nd pair of 480.

I'm getting these when they drop on NB site. Great review

Then definitely new balance has been fire with all there collabs and gr color ways. Also I like details of from box to color way of the shoes. Lastly, definitely going try for them all my skateshops 🔥

You give excellent sneaker reviews without bias. I don't use the shoes to skate... fortunately you don't go into durability too much and I don't think you ever have. You mostly mention how dope a shoe looks. Which is fine.

Your review had me get a pair. Good looking out

Gotta support the locals (will Nocturnal also carry the tees) or will they be made to order?

I wish I didn't injure myself and could still skate like I used to so I could skate these. I picked up a pair. I have a feeling they will sell out fast and resale will be crazy.

Are you going to review the Tyshawn 2.

Dude . Wish nb would cater to their Canadian market more

Insane collab!

Excellent review 😊

Wow, they’re really cool! 😊

Funniest thing about it all..... I REMEMBER the backwards thing..... And YES it WAS before the Full Cab.........

New balance actually gives skaters pro models and release high quality foot wear !

Insane colorway

Natas indeed had the first pro shoe.

You go up in all the kicks. I went down 1/2 a size on mine.

I got mine I think they feel true to size and wide..

Bro your shirt! Just noticed, official?

You have a shop? Where are u located? Fairly new to channel

Aye I’m getting the pink shirt 🙌

These do look sick

wassup with that NB LB T and hat you got on? 😮

Gotta say im surprised they didnt reach to Gino.

I saw these today and impulse bought them

went up half hopefully you are correct.

Hail Natas

Also getting MF DOOM 2.0 vibes with these.

wish you laced swapped to the green to see

Are they available in half sizes!?

Wow, legitimately first. lol These are sick.

Gifted Hater mentioned? Ain't no way.

Super fly...

How much?

Pass for me.

He changed his names spelling to do that. I’m pretty sure it is spelled Natus. All the best.

I thought Natas was an American skateborder, and his parents went to America from Lithuania? The monkey is from the monkeys that were hidden in his graphics? Do your homework.

Thems r some hideous feet protectors my Gs
