While you’d probably be right in looking to running shoes as the fastest-evolving shoes on the market, skate shoes definitely deserve their flowers, too.

Millennials will remember skate shoes as incredibly bulky, padded out silhouettes that looked as though they’d been inflated. Think the Osiris D3. Nowadays, though, skate shoes have slimmed down. So much so that pairs like the New Balance Numeric 933 made in collaboration with skateboarding legend Andrew Reynolds, can slot into any everyday rotation without raising any suspicions of skaterdom. Including its latest.

We’ve been treated to a bunch of great colorways of the New Balance Numeric 933 since its release in April 2025, and what has really set them apart is that they feel like classic New Balance plays.

Instead of looking for ways to modernize the new silhouette, New Balance and Andrew Reynolds have been cranking out palettes that you might expect on a New Balance 992.

And these similarities don’t end with the colorway. Hits of premium full-grain leather to the upper raise the profile of this shoe even further.

On foot, the New Balance Numeric 933 Black with Eclipse is incredibly versatile thanks to its understated build which makes it easy to style with an everyday wardrobe.

But don’t be fooled. The Numeric 933 is still a shoe for skating: it’s super hard-wearing, supportive, and very comfortable.
