The 808 LRO sneaker represents a collaboration between New Balance Numeric, Tiago Lemos, and Roland, scheduled for release on August 8, 2025. This model encapsulates the spirit of the legendary Roland TR-808 drum machine, historically significant in hip-hop and electronic music. Its design incorporates elements from Tiago's original 808 model while channeling the TR-808's color palette. The sneaker features a translucent sole and integrates branding for New Balance Numeric and Roland. This collaboration demonstrates a seamless blend of performance, nostalgia, and modern design that honors both skate and music cultures.
The 808 LRO silhouette stays true to the performance DNA of Tiago's original 808 model—grippy, responsive, and built for high-impact sessions—but reimagines the aesthetic through the lens of Roland's most legendary drum machine.
A translucent sole sits underneath it all, mimicking the look of backlit drum pads and giving the sneaker a subtle glow that doesn't scream for attention but earns it anyway.
