The Boss Andrew Reynolds isn’t exactly new to this.
If you’ve spent any time around skateboarding, you already know how much weight his name carries.
Three decades of skating under his belt, countless video parts, and a reputation for precision and style that hasn’t faded over the years - Reynolds is someone who cares deeply about the details, and that definitely shows in the New Balance Numeric 933.
This shoe isn’t just another branded release. It’s something that Reynolds had his hands on from start to finish. Think less “sign-off” and more “every stitch matters.”
He talks about the shoe like he talks about filming - you can hear the same tone he uses when describing why a certain ledge needed a re-do or why a manual didn’t quite cut it the first time around.
He brings that same care to the 933, explaining how the design needed to feel right and skate well.
There’s a sense of honesty in the way he tells it, too. Nothing feels hyped up or overdone. Reynolds goes into the back-and-forth with the New Balance team, how he’d skate a version, think it through, and give real feedback. Not vague comments either - real, skater-driven notes.
Things like toe shape, board feel, flick, how it breaks in. You get the sense that every decision was considered with the same headspace he uses when choosing a line for a video part.
Watching him describe it feels like catching up with an old friend who still cares about every inch of their board setup.
There’s no sales pitch, no grand claims. Just a skater who’s still out there doing it, making sure the gear lives up to the sessions it’s meant for.
So yeah, give the video a watch. It’s more than just a product spotlight - it’s a look at how someone who’s been in the game for decades still sweats the small stuff. And maybe that’s what keeps him going strong.
