Step back in time with this nostalgic collection in the team favourite NM480.

The Boston Celtics-inspired model sports a deep green nubuck shell, highlighted with crisp white accents running across the N logo, sockliner, and laces. Mirror the magic of the '80s on the flip side with the Lakers-themed version, adorned in classic white, purple, and gold hues. This pair brings you a luxe leather construction with nubuck detailing on the N logo and collar, encapsulating the opulence of the Lakers of yesteryears. Both pairs feature clean, white midsoles with thematic stitching and distinctive outsole colors - purple for the Lakers and white for the Celtics.
