In 1980, Roland released the TR-808 Rhythm Composer as a quick and easy songwriting tool for musicians. Four decades later it is largely credited for helping shape the sound of hip-hop. New Balance Numeric and Roland have collaborated to make a truly special version of Tiago Lemo's signature 808 Lite model, a number they share not entirely by coincidence.
The New Balance Numeric 808 by Tiago Lemos is the newest addition to the NB Numeric line. Tiago’s second signature model for New Balance features late-90’s styling with modern NB technology. Full length ABZORB midsole, lace ghillies, Ndurance outsole and a layered upper are complemented by exaggerated N branding, giving the 808 a unique look. Additional features like the re-designed internal heel pod keep the foot locked in and secure. The 808 provides both comfort and durability, with Tiago’s distinct aesthetics.
