For his first pro model skate shoe, New Balance hooks Tiago Lemos up with a four-digit Numeric model. Is it because he’s 10X more raw than everyone else? No one knows. The facts are that the 1010 features N-Durance Rubber cup outsole, suede and mesh uppers with no-sew overlays and a FuelCell Foam midsole to facilitate propulsion, which is apt in Tiago’s case because giving dude propulsion-assistance is like dousing a wildfire in pertroleum.
