New Balance Numeric has redefined the modern skate shoe by utilizing the vast R&D resources of their parent company to solve the most common problems skaters face: heel bruises, blowouts, and loss of board feel. By integrating proprietary technologies like FuelCell foam and NDurance rubber, NB Numeric has created a lineup that feels broken-in from day one but maintains its structural integrity. At The Drop, we recognize NB# as a top-tier choice for technical street skaters and transition rippers alike.
The Pro Model Powerhouses: Tiago, Foy, and Reynolds
NB Numeric’s reputation is backed by some of the most influential pro models in the game:
The 1010 (Tiago Lemos): The flagship technical cupsole. It features a full-length FuelCell midsole for incredible energy return and a FantomFit heel for a secure, locked-in feel. It is designed for high-impact skating where foot protection is paramount.
The 306 & 306 Cup (Jamie Foy): A favorite for its versatility. The standard 306 is a masterclass in vulcanized durability with rubber underlays, while the new 306 Cup provides the same Foy-approved aesthetic with the added support of a reinforced cupsole.
The 933 (Andrew Reynolds): A refined silhouette that balances classic skate aesthetics with modern control and stability. The "Boss" approved design is built for those who demand precision and a timeless look.
Technical Innovation: NDurance and FuelCell
What truly sets New Balance Numeric apart is the science behind the soles.
NDurance Rubber: Every NB# shoe utilizes this specialized rubber compound in high-wear areas, significantly extending the life of the outsole compared to standard skate shoes.
Impact Protection: Whether it’s the ABZORB inserts found in the 480 and 808 or the lightweight FuelCell foam in the 1010, these shoes are engineered to absorb the shock of flat-ground landings and large gaps, saving your joints during long sessions.
Diverse Silhouettes: From Court-Inspired to Technical High-Tops
We carry a wide range of NB# models to match your specific style:
Court Classics (480 & 600): Models like the 480 take inspiration from New Balance’s basketball heritage, adapted with reinforced materials and skate-specific insoles. The Tom Knox 600 offers a sleek, technical indoor-soccer aesthetic with incredible grip.
Vulcanized Precision (272 & 440): The 272 offers a unique vaulted heel design for impact dispersion, while the 440 V2 remains a staple for its lightweight, responsive feel and classic "running shoe" inspired lines.
