Full details
The New Balance Numeric 808 Light is a high-performance skate shoe designed for skaters who prioritize impact protection and agility. This signature model by Tiago Lemos updates the classic 808 silhouette by reducing overall weight and increasing flexibility, making it an excellent choice for both technical street skating and everyday wear. While the suede upper offers premium durability, users should be prepared for a break-in period common with performance-focused athletic footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the performance cup sole offers a snug, secure feel that some might find tighter than a standard running shoe.
Can I use these for running?
While they feature a FuelCell midsole for cushioning, they are specifically designed for skateboarding and lack the arch support and ventilation required for dedicated running.
How should I clean the suede?
Use a dedicated suede brush or eraser. Avoid saturating the suede with water as it can ruin the texture.
What is the benefit of the NDurance rubber?
NDurance is an exclusive New Balance rubber compound that is highly resistant to abrasion, making it ideal for the friction caused by skateboard griptape.
What does the 808L mean?
The 'L' stands for Light, indicating this version of the 808 has been updated with lighter materials to improve flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight upon first wear
The suede material will stretch and conform to your foot shape after a few sessions; wear them indoors for short periods to break them in.
Accumulation of dirt on suede
Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt fibers rather than wiping with a wet cloth, which can damage the nap.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede surface.
- Stain Removal: If necessary, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a suede eraser for scuffs.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the suede from becoming stiff or discolored.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials.
