New Balance Numeric Skate Shoes
As mentioned above New Balance Skate Shoes maintain a sleek, fresh and contemporary style throughout their range. Staying true to brand with the symbolic “N” on the side of the shoe and sticking to the traditional numbering system sets the numeric range aside from the competition.
All skate shoe brands develop their own technologies to make their shoes stand out from their competitors and New Balance is no exception to this. Featuring Ndurance rubber outsoles, FuelCell Foam and FantomFit within their shoes helps give NB a competitive edge.
-
Ndurance = a specially developed rubber compound used in areas of high wear for maximum durability
-
FuelCell Foam = helps deliver a propulsive feel to help drive forward
-
FantomFit = Heel support to prevent slippage and provide a snug comfortable fit
These are some of the amazing technologies New Balance Numeric Skate Shoes feature. Whilst developing their own tech they’ve also kept the traditional sole styles. Both Cupsoles and Vulcanised sole types are featured within the numeric range.
-
Cupsole = specifically designed for skateboarding. Providing more support and protection for skateboarders. They do take longer to break in and can reduce board feel
-
Vulcanised = provide the best board feel and are easier to break in but are significantly weaker and less durable.
New Balance Numeric 306
New Balance nm306 is the signature pro model skate shoe for Jamie Foy. This Shoe boasts flexibility, amazing colour ways, breathability, Ndurance outsole Technology, Absorb Insoles & Increased protection within the toe cap to keep these shoes going for as long as possible. The Jamie Foy New Balance 306 skate shoe features a break line between the laces and toe cap, this is to aid flexibility due to this being the natural crease line but will also provide ventilation due to a mesh inlay being used opposed to suede. This Mesh inlay can also be seen around the New Balance “N” on both the inside and outside of the shoe along with the construction of the tongue again creating flexibility and increasing ventilation.
