Roland and New Balance Numeric have unveiled the Tiago Lemos 808. This unique footwear masterpiece merges the iconic legacy of the Roland TR-808 drum machine with the dynamic energy of skateboarding, embodied by professional skater Tiago Lemos.
The Roland TR-808, a cornerstone of electronic music, has shaped the sound of countless genres since its introduction in the 1980s. Its distinctive basslines and rhythmic patterns have become synonymous with musical innovation. Similarly, skateboarding has evolved from a rebellious subculture into a global phenomenon, driven by athletes like Tiago Lemos who push the boundaries of the sport.
The Tiago Lemos 808 sneaker is a visual and functional representation of this harmonious union. Its design incorporates elements inspired by the TR-808, such as color accents and patterns, while maintaining the performance-driven features expected from a New Balance Numeric skate shoe. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Tiago Lemos 808 delivers exceptional performance. New Balance Numeric’s skate-specific technology ensures optimal board feel, cushioning, and durability.
