Rukus New Balance Numeric 480 Mallard Duck Release Date
The Rukus x New Balance Numeric 480 “Mallard Duck” lands with a story rooted in Louisiana’s duck-hunting culture.
The Gulf Coast shop uses this classic skate model to spotlight rich regional history while adding fresh character. The brown suede sets a grounded base, and the feather-inspired leather panels bring a quiet pop that mirrors a mallard’s sheen. The iridescent “N” logo feels especially sharp here, playing like a quick flash of wings over water.
The playful details continue inside. Orange lining and cup sole hits echo a mallard’s bill, giving the shoe a subtle but clever twist. However, the packaging takes things even further. The pair arrives in a duck-camo box with a shimmering dust bag and a full set of Rukus-branded accessories, including a bird call and binoculars. These extras lean into the theme without feeling forced.
The Rukus x New Balance Numeric 480 drops December 6th, 2025 through Rukus with a release party.
