Whether you're skating hard or just kicking back, the 480’s got you covered. I reckon a good proportion of these are selling to non-skaters due to how good they look, they seem to hit the sweet spot in terms of bulk, not too chunky, not too slim, meaning they look good with a variety of fits on jeans.
