The Roland x New Balance Numeric Tiago Lemos 808 is a Nod to Hip-Hop

The Roland x New Balance Numeric Tiago Lemos 808 celebrates the legendary TR-808 Rhythm Composer’s influence on music, fashion, and culture. The TR-808, known for shaping the sound of hip-hop and electronic music, serves as a fitting inspiration for this limited-edition release that bridges the worlds of skateboarding and music.

Drawing on the iconic drum machine’s bold and unmistakable aesthetic, the Tiago Lemos 808 incorporates the TR-808’s signature elements into its sleek black silhouette. Vibrant accents and retro design cues pay homage to the instrument that helped define the beats of an entire generation. This collaboration reflects how the TR-808’s impact on hip-hop culture parallels the skateboarding world’s influence on fashion, elevating streetwear into mainstream trends.

Designed with Tiago Lemos’ signature style in mind, it features reinforced toecaps, internal foam pods for a snug fit, and foot-locking straps for superior support. New Balance’s innovative technology ensures these kicks perform just as well on the board as they do in the streets, making them ideal for any scenario.
