Premium Basic Black Tee

The New Balance 480 Castlerock Rain Cloud is a stylish lifestyle shoe inspired by basketball sneakers of the 1980s.

The upper of this elegantly dressed low-top is fashioned from light gray suede overlaid with darker gray suede at the toe cap, midfoot, side panel, eye stays, and heel counter. The toe box is perforated to facilitate breathability and enhance comfort. Flat white laces that ensure a snug closure echo the white lining of the medium gray leather side panel ” N.” New Balance branding also hits the tongue tag and the heel tab. A white foam midsole offers cushioning and support and rests atop a dark gray rubber outsole that sports grooves and circles for traction in multiple directions when you’re on the move.

The eye-catching standout feature of this pair of kicks is the gray tumbled leather collar padded for comfort. It features the only hit of leather on the upper aside from the side-panel ” N.”

Summoned with the same tooling as the 2021 ‘University Blue’, pink hues fill the upper of this one, using suede throughout for a soft-touch guise. Speckled mudguards maintain its durability, while Jumpman logos are perched on the heel and tongue alike. Rubber soles keep things grippy and hardwearing underfoot, and visible Air units complete the classic look while delivering the best court comfort around.
