I wish you guys had silver or nickel hardware for the belts! I really love the design and micro-adjust feature but I prefer a silver color for the hardware to match my accessories
The bottom of the new balance is similar to the puma smash V2, which is one of my favourite shoes of all time because of that and I’ve had my PUMA smashed since summer 2018 and they’re still working great. Just based on that, I would have to give it to the new balance. I came into this completely unbiassed because I’m a fan of PUMA.
@@VincentVader And both rip off the Air Force 1 from 1982. He stated this at the one and two minute mark. Especially when you consider what basketball shoes looked like prior. New balance obviously ripped off that Nike shoe design.
Have a look at the Reebok Club C! I switched to a club c revenge after wearing my 480’s for about 6 months, and the quality and comfort is far superior for usually a cheaper price as Reeboks aren’t as popular. The classic leather is also worth a shout too!
Yup love those I liked them so much when I was in school I got two pairs there very comfy and don't feel tight once you break them in perfect lounge shoe or everyday shoe
Can you guys check out the 480 Numeric? It's their skateboarding version that supposedly has beefed up construction with a fuel cell midsole. Essentially like a Nike SB version of the 480. Would fall in line well with the skateboarding series on the channel.
@haroldcampos9661 that's the numeric 480 not this one he's cutting up its not the numeric line totally different shoe basically. It's like the sb version of the dunk. Much better.
@haroldcampos9661 it'll be the exact same cut in half as the non numeric model tho. Reynolds only added tongue straps on his 2nd 480 colorway, nothing else. Reynolds own actual numeric pro model is coming out next year.
I think the SB Dunk vs the New Balance Numeric 480 would be the better comparison. Seems like most sneaker heads are looking for SB, not the standard dunk. Compare those two and I think the tables shift drastically.
Having had both I find the new balance 480s much more comfortable than the dunks. I found they moved with my foot more where the dunks were quite rigid. It really felt like I was wearing the dunks where the 480s feel more natural. The 480s flexed more in the toe box contouring my foot more, where the dunks felt rigid. Additionally the toebox of the 480s feel wider to me than the dunks, so it was surprising to hear you thought the toe box of the dunks were slightly larger. Good review, happy to know more about whats on my feet. Thanks!
The dunks are made of leather with a thick plastic coating, which takes longer to break in, I have a broken in pair of dunks and they’re pretty comfortable, again though you gotta break em in first before you reap the benefits
The 480 came out before the dunk. And the sb dunk is the best one and the numeric 480 is the best both better durability, materials, tech, & collabs with better detaild and quality ive bought like 4 recent numeric 480 collabs. But yea numeric, sb, & adv(Adidas skate line) The skateboarding versions of there shoes to the non skate versions are much better than their counterparts.
I tried the adidas forum adv for the first time 2 weeks ago after wearing sb for years… haven’t taken them off since the sb dunk low is no where near the build and comfort of them and I get them at my Skateshop all day for 30-60 dollars most 🤦🏾♂️ went back and bought 5 more pairs that same week
i would rather have the NB as well, but for some reason nike SB is more elevated materials and feel unique with some many cool colors. IF NB did a SB level 480 I would buy one.
@RoseAnvil you should look at the differences between the Nike SB dunk and New Balance Numeric 480, they're the skating versions of these two shoes, they are both different but also similar. Would be a good follow up video.
I don't know why, but I've been drawn to New Balance for the past 15 years,but especially the last 5-6. I own 7 pairs. I used to wear the 90s dad looking ones at first just cause no one was doing that 15-16 years ago, and i liked them l, but more recently they've been all flat soles except for the older 420s I got from a friend like 13 years ago. I just love the patterns and their colorways. Buy New Balance today! I don't remember the point of this comment. I own way too many pairs of shoes and jeans... I could probably give 25 people a pair of shoes and raw denim and take a t-shirt while yr at it. I have addictive tendencies. Lol
Vans lowland are very similar to both of these and look pretty sick. I’d be curious to see the comparison of those since vans usually gets pretty good reviews.
I recommend checking out the NB# 480. It has the Abzorb insole (same as the Jamie Foy 306 and the midsole tech used in other shoes), a FuelCell midsole, and newer releases feature tongue straps. They’re less technical than the Tiago 808 and 1010. They’re a bit pricey at $100-$130 depending on limited edition collaboration versus general release. For me, they’re more comfortable and supportive than an SB Dunk, and I have been a huge fan of Dunks for 16 years. This year has had a slew of SB Dunks with thinner than normal tongues. For the price, comfort, materials, and quality control, I’d rather buy the Numeric 480 right now. That being said, I wouldn’t mind if the company occasionally put a bit more padding in the tongue and collar. Not a lot!
Very interested in those leather shoe insoles. Finally a product offered that is practical and useful to the masses. If they are ever $10 or less a pair on a sale that's golden or is that too much to ask for?
Not sure if they were New Balance or Nikes, but I saw a lot of people wearing these when I traveled to Japan last year. Couples were wearing matching black and white sneakers. It really stood out to me because most people wore entirely black dress shoes or black Doc Marten type shoes. They were the only sneakers I saw.
You're almost 100% sure you've seen Panda Dunks. These shoes have had a huge hype in the last two to three years. In this respect, it is highly likely that you have almost exclusively seen this model there.
I saw a cool variation of this the other day actually, a couple with matching “tuxedo” Jordan 1’s. I keep hoping I see a whole family deal since they offer the family sizes for a lot of releases. I think that stuff is cool.
Now that this video has been done, I'd be interested to see the difference between the Nike SB Dunk vs the New Balance 480 Numeric, if there really is a difference.
There was some controversy because that photo inspired the photo they used for the logo, so the original photographer complained that Nike stole the pose for their session, so the pic that made the silhouette had him actually wearing Jordan’s.
It's already been said a bunch, but I too would like to see the numeric 480 done as well. Maybe compare to the SB dunk, or just on its own. Either way, would love to if its any good.
Wearing your new Howler Bros. shirt they sent you. haha. I actually bought one of their shirts after your video. I'd never heard of them, but like a lot of their stuff.
I have the suede with mesh one, and they’re basically the same as the one tested, just with less leather! If you wanted this silhouette but an actual good shoe, check out the numeric 480
They really are. I went through every white leather high-top out there and the defining factor of which ones were all day work worthy and which ones weren't, was foam vs. cross hatch. At the end of the day (literally) there was a clear comfort difference between foam (and/or air) midsoles and rubber lattice hell.
You should compare the 480 and the 480 numeric and see how they “re-mixed” it for skating. Full discloses been skating them sjnce they released last year.
Exactly my choice too! I know Dunks are better, but the 480s are so cool and under the radar as a design, that I still would go for the cheaper, worse product
I have the 480's, and after less than 3 months the leather on the left shoe started splitting. I've loved how they fit, but the quality isn't any good.
There is a Nike suede panda that is pretty sick, its pretty cheap on stock x now to, I got it for 70. I have had many random people compliment the pandas when I wear them. There are Jordan 1 low pandas that are the best, they have patent leather. They are called concords. I highly suggest anyone to grab those.
You said you wanted to get into the cowboy boot industry and cutting them apart I suggest you cutting the double H Dylan boot. My dad wore a pair for seven years without repairing them once, and they still had decent grip on the bottom, and I mean he worked in them as his work boots rough conditions he never even conditioned the leather. Make sure they’re steel toe
The Adidas Superstar was introdiced in 1970 and is the first of the modern style sneakers to replace Cons. They're also much cooler than either of these shoes to this day.
For the rose anvil store, it would be awesome if you also shipped with FedEx or UPS because USPS refuses to deliver parcels to apartments or housing communities with communal mailboxes.
Love the content/channel, but there's something about taking a Stanley knife to a brand new shoe that doesn't fit right with me ( no pun intended) it's like "oh no he's doing it again" I can't stop watching but it feels wrong 😅
I want to see the NB 480 numeric vs the Dunk Sb! The regular 480 quality is laughable compared to some of the nicer 480 numerics like the sand-colored Reynolds edition.
@ I have 2 pairs of both of those and I love them, the Natas especially. I also am in love with the sand Reynolds. I agree the big v-shaped cutout at the back of the heel on the highs makes them so comfortable
I gotta say there is a great value in buying a proper leather belt that isn't glued together layers of bullshit. I have had one belt for a decades since I got a real leather belt. So I definitely don't need a belt but if I did I'd buy something like that.
actually the true jumpman silhouette is him actually wearing Jordan 1s. I guess you could say the NB Pic was inspired by but the legit one he had the Chicago skyline behind him wearing Jordan 1 Black toes.
Framing this as "who makes the better Dunk" doesn't even make sense. Especially after you even acknowledged that the 480 came out 2 years before the Dunk.

Actually Nike stole the style from NB that’s the NB 550 which was out before the dunk
