Who doesn't know the iconic footwear brand New Balance?

Everyone across the globe who loves sports, running shoes and sneakers is familiar with the name and the type and quality of footwear New Balance has been putting out.

In the skate industry, a new division was created in 2012 with the announcement of partnership between New Balance and Black Box Distribution. It was in 2013 when New Balance Numeric (NB#) was launched, cementing the partnership with Black Box which is founded and run by pro skateboarder Jamie Thomas.

New Balance Numeric is run by brand manager Sebastian Palmer who formerly worked with another leading skate shoe brand eS. Mike West of 686 (snowboarding brand) and Westlife Distribution is the brand's creative director. Like many skate companies, it's not surprising that NB# has managers and staff who are skaters or used to be skaters in their youth.

The brand's team of seasoned shredders include PJ Ladd, Levi Brown, Arto Saari, Alexis Sablone, Tom Karangelov, Tom Knox, Jordan Taylor, Marquise Henry, Jack Curtin, Jordan Trahan, Marius Syvanen, Jake Hayes, JP Souza, Antoine Asselin, Flo Mirtain, Chad Tim, Anthony Schultz, Franky Villani, Brandon Westgate, Pedro Biagio and Tyler Surrey.

Best New Balance Numeric Skate Shoes

We thought of featuring a few of the most sought-after NB# skate shoes to give you an overview of each and why they are popular among skaters and non-skaters.

New Balance PJ Ladd 533 V2 - This second-generation PJ Ladd 522 is built on its predecessor's performance; innovative features such as the concealed lacing system and highly breathable side panels are added to enhance skating efficiency. With vintage style and classic design, these shoes appeal to skaters and non-skaters alike. Whether you love skating or you're just a fan of the sport, the New Balance PJ Ladd 533 V2 is a great pair of long-lasting, versatile sneakers to wear anytime, anywhere.

New Balance Quincy 254 - If you need comfortable, durable and longer-lasting skate shoes, the Quincy 254 should top your list. These shoes allow you to move freely without worries and they are comfortable, durable, grippy and have great board feel. If you love doing tricks and landing on hard pavement, the Quincy's soft insoles provide adequate cushioning.

New Balance 288 Suede - For a more stylish look, but with the same quality features, the New Balance 288 Suede ticks all boxes. These shoes are definitely made for skateboarding as they provide great board feel, comfort and flexibility; while at the same time they can be worn with smart casual office attire and any casual getup you wear on weekends.

New Balance 346 - These shoes have retained the technology and materials of their predecessor, the NB# 356; but with higher profile that provide ankle support when doing your favourite tricks. The NB# 346 has ABZORB+ insert that add superb cushioning, comfort and protection from impacts.

New Balance 424 - The minimalist appeal of these skate shoes goes beyond skateboarding. For skaters and laid-back fashionistas, the low-profile style of the NB# 424 complements their skating and casual wear respectively. They are absolutely made for skateboarding; thanks to the excellent comfort they provide the wearer. The only downside is the fit, which is quite narrow and short. Choosing a half size higher might solve this issue; but for those who are wide-footed, they will find these shoes uncomfortable to wear especially for skating.

If you haven't tried any of these styles from New Balance Numeric, today's the day to do so. You can order right here at Yakwax with FREE UK delivery!
