Chocolate x New Balance Numeric 480 Collection to be released in October 2024

The New Balance Numeric and Chocolate Skateboards have teamed up to reinvigorate the iconic 480 shoe, a meaningful collaboration that coincides with Chocolate’s 30th anniversary. The collaboration recalls Chocolate’s long history in the LA skateboarding scene and New Balance Numeric’s technical excellence in footwear. Skater Jordan Trahan is at the center of the collaboration, a fitting example of the deep connection between the two.

New Designs and Materials

The Chocolate x New Balance Numeric 480 collection comes in two unique versions, both featuring high-end suede uppers with breathable mesh tongues for comfort and durability. The design works well for skateboarding and everyday wear. The red detailing on the shoe pays homage to Chocolate’s history, making it a unique mark. The high top version also features the Chocolate flag on the collar, further emphasizing the intent of this collaboration.
