New Balance’s "Dunk" Skate Shoes Turned Into Beautiful Unicorns
Scotland's Focus skate shop has turned the New Balance Numeric 480 sneaker into a unicorn.
And it's a great-looking "unicorn," at that, with equally clever details nodding to Scottish culture. For instance, it lands in teal blue suede and white pebbled leather, nodding to the colors of Scotland's flag. Meanwhile, trippy unicorn graphics celebrate the country's national animal, while orange accents call back to its second national drink (it's an orange soda called Irn-Bru).
It's easily the most Scottish New Balance "Dunk" yet (complimentary).
It's crazy to think the New Balance 480 used to be a basketball shoe, considering how good of a skate shoe it is. Honestly, the 480 has lived a few different lives, but the skate shoe era is by far the most exciting. Both the general-release colorways and collaborations have been great. And Focus just gave us another one for the books.
Speaking of which, the brand's New Balance Numeric 480 collaboration is now available on its website and at other skate shops, retailing between $115 and $150.
