Roland and New Balance are bringing the beats back – but this time to the streets. To mark the 45th anniversary of the famous TR-808 Rhythm Composer and the annual 808 Day on 8 August, the popular Tiago Lemos 808 Lite x Roland sneaker collaboration is being reissued.

The first drop in 2024 was a resounding success, selling out immediately and celebrated by skaters, music fans and sneakerheads alike. The new version stays true to the proven design and combines musical heritage with performance functionality.

The sneaker has a suede, mesh and leather upper and features a black base with bright accents in orange, yellow and red – inspired by the look of the legendary drum machine. A ‘Rhythm Composer’ tag is located in the heel area, while a removable Roland keyring completes the look. The partially transparent sole houses a FuelCell cushioning system and an NDurance rubber outsole for top performance on the skateboard.

With this collaboration, Roland, New Balance and skate pro Tiago Lemos show that sneakers can be much more than just footwear – they tell stories. It's all about beats, boards and boundless creativity.

The new edition will be released on 8 August 2025, the official 808 Day. The sneaker is priced at €120.

The exclusive release will take place on NewBalance.com and at selected skate shops worldwide.
