Since its founding in 1906, New Balance has always been in pursuit of better fit. Starting with signing a contract with a player who was active in the NBA at the time in the 1980s, the brand has released a number of performance basketball shoes. Based on the "BB480L", a low-cut model of the earliest model released in 1983, the "Special Order BB480L" is now available as an exclusive model from Urban Research Doors.


Employing a white and gray coloring that is often seen in the OG colorways of New Balance archive basketball shoes, this shoe was created with the image of a revival of past archives. Continuing from the previous model, blue, reminiscent of New Balance's corporate color, is used as an accent color. Another notable feature of this special order is that, in reference to basketball shoes, the insole also expresses this element. In addition to the matching white, gray shoelaces are also included, allowing you to change the look depending on your styling. The white and gray coloring can be incorporated into any outfit throughout the seasons, and the moderate volume makes this a pair of shoes that will be a focal point of your outfit.

Pre-orders will begin on March 16th at the Urban Research online store.

The product is scheduled to go on sale simultaneously at URBAN RESEARCH DOORS and URBAN RESEARCH Stores from April 16th.
