Roland and New Balance Numeric have teamed up again to release a new version of their Tiago Lemos 808 Lite, a shoe that pays homage to the iconic TR-808 drum machine. First launched in 2024 and selling out fast, this updated 2025 model blends the worlds of skateboarding and electronic music.

About the Roland x New Balance Numeric Tiago Lemos 808 Lite (2025)

Timed to coincide with Roland’s yearly “808 Day” on 8 August, the 2025 edition of the Numeric Tiago Lemos 808 Lite features a predominantly black color scheme with vibrant accents of orange, red, and yellow. The upper is made from a mix of suede, mesh, and leather. The shoe’s “N” logo on the side is highlighted with a gradient design, and the heel is embroidered with a “Rhythm Composer” tag. A detachable Roland drum machine keychain is also included as a special touch.

Built for performance, the New Balance Numeric 808 Lite includes FuelCell cushioning and NDurance outsole rubber for durability and board feel, all with input from professional skateboarder Tiago Lemos. The translucent sole adds a unique style element while maintaining excellent traction. This collaboration is a seamless fusion of music history and skate culture, and the shoe is sure to make a statement whether you’re on a board or off.
