NEW BALANCE NUMERIC 808 Lite x Roland

New Balance 808 Lite x Roland – A rhythm-filled skate shoe designed by Tiago Lemos

What do you get when a top skater, a legendary sports shoe brand, and an iconic music brand collaborate? The New Balance 808 Lite x Roland. Designed by Brazilian pro skater Tiago Lemos, this limited edition shoe is a tribute to the famous Roland TR-808 drum machine, a timeless instrument in electronic music.

A sneaker inspired by beats and boards

The 808 Lite has long been Tiago Lemos' signature skate shoe at New Balance Numeric. For this special edition, Roland joined in to make the design musical. The color scheme with a black base, bright accents in red, orange, and yellow is directly inspired by the iconic buttons of the TR-808.

The musical world also comes to life in the details: subtle Roland branding, a stylized 808 graphic, and even a shoebox with a design reminiscent of a drum machine.

Technology that performs

This sneaker is not only beautiful to look at, it is made for skating. The 808 Lite features a cupsole construction for extra durability and stability, perfect for technical skate work. The upper combines suede and mesh for breathable comfort, while the insole provides cushioning during impact.

Tiago Lemos himself was at the helm of the design, so every skater gets exactly what they need, whether you're skating on the street or just walking through the city.

Music x skate: a rare collab

What truly makes this shoe unique is the fusion of two cultures: skateboarding and electronic music. Roland and New Balance are both deeply rooted in creative communities, and with this collaboration, they celebrate the intersection of rhythm, movement, and expression.

It has an updated design to provide the durability and shock protection you need with improved flexibility.
