Full details

The New Balance Numeric Tiago Lemos 808L is designed for skateboarders and casual wearers who prioritize a blend of 90s-inspired aesthetics and modern athletic technology. This lightweight update to the original 808 silhouette delivers exceptional impact protection and energy return, though the suede construction requires consistent care to maintain its appearance. It is an ideal choice for those seeking a technically progressive trainer that manages to be both durable enough for high-impact skating and comfortable enough for daily use.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the New Balance Numeric 808L fits consistently with standard New Balance sizing, but the internal heel pods may make the fit feel slightly more snug initially.

Can I use these for running?

While they feature advanced cushioning, these are specialized skate shoes and are not designed for long-distance running or high-intensity aerobic exercise.

What is the best way to clean the white sole?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a magic sponge to carefully wipe the rubber surface, avoiding contact with the suede upper.

What makes this different from the original 808?

The 808L is an enhanced, lighter version that improves flexibility and reduces weight while retaining the same signature silhouette and technical specs.

Are they unisex?

Yes, the 808L is designed as a unisex shoe, suitable for anyone regardless of gender.

Do the suede uppers handle water well?

Suede is porous and can be damaged by water. It is recommended to apply a water-repellent suede spray before first use if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Heel slippage

Ensure the laces are tightened specifically through the top eyelet to maximize the effect of the internal zonal heel pods.

Dirty suede

Use a specialized suede brush or a clean rubber eraser to gently lift stains and dirt from the nap of the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-energy return from FuelCell foam
  • Enhanced durability with NDurance rubber outsole
  • Excellent lockdown due to zonal heel pods
  • Modern, lightweight construction
  • Stylish 90s-inspired design

Cons

  • Suede material requires specialized cleaning
  • Black and white colorway prone to visible dust
  • Less breathable than mesh-heavy performance shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, regular maintenance is recommended. Since the uppers are constructed from suede, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh household cleaners. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the material from hardening. Ensure that the laces are adjusted to accommodate the zonal heel pods, which may feel more secure than standard trainers upon the first few wears.
