Andrew Reynold’s First New Balance Signature Sneaker Barely Looks Like a Skate Shoe

At 46 years old, Andrew Reynolds is still finding firsts in his legendary skating career. Three years after signing with New Balance, and another three after leaving his longterm home at Emerica, he’s now receiving his first signature model from the Boston-based brand.

The New Balance Numeric 933 is a blend of the fat tongues and wide foundations of skate shoes and the dad shoe aesthetic that’s made so many of New Balance’s retro runners popular. Specifically, the silhouette borrows lines from the iconic 993.
