The New Balance Numeric Tiago Lemos 808L represent a refined evolution of a proven skate silhouette, updated to deliver greater flexibility without sacrificing durability or impact protection. Inspired by the powerful, precise skating of Tiago Lemos, this model is built for modern skateboarding where control, confidence, and consistency matter most. The 808L is designed to handle repeated impacts, long sessions, and demanding terrain while offering a smoother, more adaptable feel on the board. The Workwear with Black colorway reinforces its utilitarian, no-nonsense character—functional, tough, and timeless. This is a skate shoe made to be pushed hard, every day.
Performance
Performance in the 808L is centered on balance: solid impact protection paired with improved flexibility. The stable platform provides confidence on heavy landings, while the updated construction allows the shoe to move more naturally with the foot during technical tricks. This combination enhances control without creating a soft or unstable feel. Even during long sessions, the ride remains predictable and supportive, helping skaters stay locked in from the first push to the last attempt. It’s a performance setup aimed at skaters who demand reliability and precision under pressure.
Functional construction
The construction of the Tiago Lemos 808L focuses on durability and structural integrity. The redesigned build increases overall flexibility while preserving the strength of the upper and the stability of the sole. As the shoe breaks in, it adapts to foot movement without losing shape or support. This makes the 808L especially well suited for daily skateboarding, where footwear must withstand constant wear and repeated stress without compromising performance.
Technology applied to performance
Beneath its bold, classic look, the 808L integrates performance-driven solutions for modern skateboarding. Impact protection is tuned to absorb repeated landings, while enhanced flexibility improves boardfeel and accuracy during technical maneuvers. This technical balance results in a skate shoe that delivers protection where it matters and responsiveness where it counts.
