When the boss calls, you have no choice but to answer.
Andrew Reynolds is perhaps one of the most legendary figures in street skating. His numerous videos are filled with big tricks like frontside flips, kickflips, varial heels, and backside 360s. He's not just a high-flyer. He continues to evolve his skating style even as he ages, making him truly an "OG" (original gangster) skater.

Tricks, settings, routines... His "boss" attitude, meticulous about everything, has supported his unparalleled long career. Reynolds had the opportunity to design a shoe from scratch at New Balance, and this shoe was born. It's a finish that is truly his style, imbued with his love for skating and meticulous aesthetic.
In an era dominated by thin vulcanized soles, the Andrew Reynolds 933 is a technology-packed shoe for skaters looking for more performance. Your feet deserve this. That's his answer.

Local riders Caleb Stowe and Chris Ryan from Eugene, Oregon, took the 933 for a spin around town and shared their real-life experience in a Tactics review video.
🛹 New Balance Numeric 933 Features (Caleb and Chris's Summary)
Size and fit
- The size is almost faithful to the actual size of your feet.
- The toes are slightly wide, so there is no feeling of pressure.
- The overall fit is very good and the shoes are comfortable to wear.
Structure and comfort
-The shoes themselves are not too thick and are well-balanced.
- The sole provides solid support and outstanding stability.
- It takes time to get used to wearing them, so you will need to wear them several times.
Shock absorption and support
- The insole itself is not specially designed, but the thick midsole protects the entire foot.
- It has extremely high shock absorption, so you won't feel any pain in your feet even when jumping and landing.
- There is a plastic support part in the heel area to firmly secure the heel.
Boardfeel and Grip
- It is stiffer than other low-profile skate shoes and has a slightly less board-like feel.
- Excellent tread pattern provides high grip and reliability.
durability
- Even after 5-6 hours of skating with new MOB grips, there is minimal tearing of the upper.
- The sole and upper have little wear, making them highly durable overall.
- The shoelaces are not very worn and are holding up well, which is rare.
Functionality in the details
・Lace lock (tightness of shoelaces) is directly linked to performance. If they are loose, the fit will be poor.
- Do not heat in the microwave (the plastic pack inside the sole may melt).
Targeted skating styles
-Suitable for flying over high stairs and gaps.
- Designed for skaters who frequently use frontside flips and big tricks, like Andrew Reynolds.
