New Balance has joined forces with Brazilian skateboarder Tiago Lemos and famous music equipment brand Roland to create a unique version of the New Balance Numeric 808 shoe. This special sneaker is called the 808 LRO and is inspired by Roland’s legendary TR-808 drum machine, which played a big role in the early days of hip-hop, electro, and dance music.
The sneaker is designed with music lovers and skaters in mind. It features a stylish black color with bright accents and layered panels that give it a bold look. One of the standout parts of the shoe is its translucent sole, which reminds people of the colorful lights on the original TR-808 machine. It’s a nod to both old-school beats and modern skate style.
This shoe isn’t just about looks—it also celebrates the connection between skating and music. In fact, the TR-808 has even been used in the background music of Tiago Lemos’s skate videos. So, this sneaker brings together two creative worlds: skateboarding and music.
If you’re into skating, music, or both, this is a sneaker you won’t want to miss.
