New Balance has thrived within pretty much every sneaker sub-genre out there, sparking buzz in lifestyle, running, and basketball footwear circles en route to record-shattering revenues in 2023. Despite all that success, the Boston brand’s skate banner remains an up-and-comer thanks to stiff competition from actors like Nike SB, Vans, and other brands with storied skate heritage to draw from.
Occasionally the Futuristic Chrome Takes Over The Air Jordan 4 RM will change that. The Andrew Reynolds-endorsed silhouette continues to pioneer the brand’s skate line across a wide selection of looks, now touching down with a “Trail Pack” inspired by classic New Balance hiking shoes. This delivery joins three elements; skate-ready performance (obviously), basketball heritage (the 480 was originally a basketball shoe), and favored outdoorsy New Balance aesthetics, all of which serve to boost the model’s park popularity.
Two pairs make up the pack; one with grey/navy suede and another that leans into leather tan/burgundy treatments. While the grey pair takes on a more understated approach with synchronous lining, its counterpart delves deeper into trail aesthetics with vibrant teal treatments. Both shoes boast rope laces in what’s perhaps the most apparent trail-inspired callback, complete underfoot with matching all-black sole units.
Both pairs are available now from newbalance.com in unisex sizing, marked with a $100 price tag. Enjoy official images below and tap the official purchase links to secure your pair.
