When Tiago Lemos left DC Shoes to ride for NB Numeric he was the perfect fit for the NB 1010 shoe that had already been designed. Making the 1010 Tiago's first NB pro shoe was a no-brainer, but we all needed to know what kind of shoe Tiago would come up with when he had free reign!
The 808 is the answer to that question and it's a straight-up banger. There is obviously a DC and 90s skate shoe influence, but it's tempered by typical New Balance design details and production values. The shoe is impeccably constructed, it has an insanely tech outsole that is winning praise from all those who skate it. Couple that with the Fantomfit and insole innovations and you have a really supportive shoe that maintains control and feel.
This is a shoe that works for anyone who values foot protection and typical cupsole skate shoe features. Definitely pop into the shop and check these out if you get the chance.
