New Balances classic workhorse skate shoe, the 254, gets an update. The new look combines suede construction and a low profile silhouette, with some next level tech. The Ndurence® sole is made with ultra durable rubber and a Gradient Hex tread pattern for long lasting grip and consistent boardfeel, and the ABZORB+ Insert provides high level impact protection in key areas. This shoe is a solid step forward for New Balance and will not disappoint.

Vulcanized - “Vulc” shoes are light, flexible and break in quickly. These don't provide as much foot protection as cupsoles, but they are preferred if you’re looking for good board feel in a shoe with less weight and bulk.
Details
Ndurance® Upper - Coated suede feels and skates like regular suede but is significantly more durable. This equates to 20% longer lifespan for your shoes.
ABZORB+® Insert - A New Balance custom insert with added protection in high-impact areas
Ndurance® Rubber Outsole - Ndurance® is a highly durable rubber compound that increases the lifespan of this shoe's outsole.

New Balance Numeric 255 Skate Shoes - navy/gold
Thought with the tread pattern being so shallow they would wear out quick, but not the case. Solid shoe after breaking in

Nice shoe but leaves wear marks

New Balance 255 Skate Shoes - black/brown
I am currently only wearing these shoes for street use which is just walking. In under a month there are white wear marks on the top of the shoe. I was expecting higher quality since my Janoski's have no wear marks and I have been using them for a year now. Otherwise, the shoe is comfortbale and looks good.

New Balance 255 Skate Shoes - forest/white
Love the look of these shoes .. but damn if they're not small. I almost always wear a 10 1/2 in ever shoe I own but on these I can hardly fit my feet into them and should have gone with a pair of size 11s. Just passing on to anyone curios and who doesn't wear NB's all that often.

New Balance 255 Skate Shoes - black/white
Remind me of some vans era pros with a larger toe box and are just as grippy with better impact protection but that is just like, my opinion, man.
