Dedicated editions for the play-in champs and presumptive title favorites Vu Skate Shop 440v2 Apr 22, 2024 Anthony Edwards Shoes are the latest indications of that renewed energy. Now putting forth a crossover effort, the A Ma Maniere x Nike Air Force 1 Low "While You Were Sleeping" 480 “Eighties Pack” applies a heavy dose of old misnurture hoops.
Crucially, the original 480 represents the first of New Balance’s 80’s basketball models, adopted by contemporary pros like the Lakers’ James Worthy and Celtics’ M.L. Carr. On top of a West/East coast split across these two pairs, there’s also a jersey contrast, with the leather Lakers pair adopting a white-dominant away palette, while the suede Celtics edition is draped almost entirely in trademark green a la their Garden outfits. Though the historical ties at work with this pair are significant enough, it’s some excellent timing for New Balance to mint this series – the Lakers and Celtics both eyeing deep playoff runs make its a perfect time for their fan bases to rock these proudly.
Both pairs in the A Ma Maniere x Nike Air Force 1 Low "While You Were Sleeping" 480 “Eighties Pack” will retail for $100, landing via retail partners on April 19th and via NewBalance.com on April 22. Scroll down for store links and official galleries of both.
