Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Numeric Tiago Lemos 808 trainers are premium low-top sneakers designed for skateboarders and casual wearers who prioritize durability and board feel. Combining the signature aesthetic of professional skater Tiago Lemos with high-quality construction, these shoes offer a supportive and stylish fit for daily use. A notable caveat for potential buyers is that these are skate-specific performance shoes, meaning they feature a firmer sole construction which may require a short breaking-in period compared to standard lifestyle sneakers.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size, though the performance fit is snug for better board control.

Can I wear these for running?

These are designed for skateboarding and lifestyle use; they do not have the specialized support required for long-distance running.

What is the material of the upper?

The New Balance 808 features a high-quality, durable leather upper.

Are the laces durable?

The included laces are high-density to withstand the wear of skateboarding, but can be replaced if damaged.

How do I maintain the white colour?

Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth and a leather-safe cleaner will keep the white sections looking fresh.

Is this shoe unisex?

While listed for men, the design is versatile and suitable for anyone who prefers the fit and aesthetic of the 808 series.

Troubleshooting

Stiff fit during first wear

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften and the foam to adapt to your foot shape.

Difficulty cleaning white surfaces

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft cloth to gently buff out stains rather than submerging the shoes in water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability for intensive skateboarding use
  • Sophisticated signature aesthetic by Tiago Lemos
  • High-quality leather upper materials
  • Provides a secure and stable fit
  • Versatile design transitions well from skate park to casual wear

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort

  • Performance-oriented sole may feel firmer than pure lifestyle sneakers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, consider the following maintenance tips:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For scuffs on the leather, use a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner.
  2. Drying: Never place shoes in direct sunlight or near heat sources to dry, as this can crack or warp the leather material.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the integrity of the cushioning foam.
  4. Insoles: The provided insoles are removable; replace them with custom orthotics if you require specific arch support.
