Originally conceived as a basketball shoe in the early 1980s, the 480 would, in time, reemerge as a casual classic. Now the enduring silhouette gets a premium, modern-day update. Meet the 480P. Upgrading to a leather and suede upper with the addition of an NB Comfort insole gives this timeless style an elevated look and feel, while a lower collar and sloped toebox make for an overall sleeker profile and refined design.
