New Balance
$154.95
Adorned with logos from both brands, the collaboration from New Balance Numeric and Chocolate Skateboards brings the 480 skate shoes in a muted tan and gum color scheme with subtle references to each brand's heritage. Originally released in 1983, the athletic low-top cupsole sneakers have been redesigned for skateboarding with durable suede panels overlayed on leather, responsive FuelCell foam, and reinforced toecaps. Co-branded on the tongue's woven label, the padded shoe employs subtle easter-egg branding with a "C" logo embroidered on the heel and a familiar silhouette printed on the outsole - as an homage to the iconic Keenan Milton part in Chocolate's 1996 skate video titled "Mouse". The limited edition shoes come with a co-branded adjustable drawstring mesh shoe bag and an additional pair of OrthoLite insoles with a classic Chocolate graphic.
