New Balance Golf Updates Its Classics and 480 Models With an On-Course Twist

For all its Classics silhouettes, New Balance Golf continues to reinvent its core styles from a technical standpoint, looking to the modern athlete for inspiration. With the retro-inspired Heritage golf shoe and 480 Golf SL, new additions to the brand’s golf line, the innovative sneaker brand gives a lifestyle twist to the typical golf shoe. Smart, monochromatic styles designed for the game of golf and elsewhere, both silhouettes nod to their predecessors while introducing new-age technology.

New Balance Golf’s latest makeups accommodate the performance needs and playing habits of modern golfers while paying homage to the brand’s massive collection of Classics and lifestyle silhouettes all the same. Providing a cloud-like stride and responsive cushioning that adapts to the motion of your foot, the Heritage model is replete with a CUSH+® insole, DynaSoft midsole, and an outsole constructed of NDurance rubber. Delivering superior grip during 18-hole rounds, the FastTwist 3.0 removable Pulsar cleats attach and detach from the outsole for seamless transitioning on and off the course. The Heritage models arrive in seven new colorways (six of which are sold exclusively at Dicks Sporting Goods), an assortment of cool-toned neutrals and punchy, creamsicle designs like the “White/Pink” color scheme. Pictured above, “Grey’s” clean and subtle construction showcases subtle grayscale overlays enveloping the upper.

Reinventing another classic, New Balance Golf has also launched the 480 Golf SL, available in two colorways: “Grey/White” and “White/Red.” Skaters have gravitated to the 480L’s sleek, low-profile construction and reinforced toe cap. These references are slightly tweaked for the course, unveiling a microfiber leather upper, a reinforced PU sockliner and a flexible spineless cupsole — engineered for the green and streets. Paying tribute to the 480 lines, the new models retain a simple aesthetic, with the “White/Red” color theme offering a vibrant, statement-making pop of red just as summer rounds the corner.

Staying true to its design ethos, New Balance Golf offers a fresh perspective on its famed footwear — retaining technical aspects beloved by brand loyalists — while looking to the future frontier of golf and the communities that take to the green in style.

Check out the new colorways in the galleries above. Dicks Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy are the exclusive retailers of the 480 Golf SL and six colorways of the exclusive Heritage golf shoe. Shop the Heritage model in “Grey” by visiting New Balance’s website.
