Roland Corporation has announced another partnership with PUMA, a new TR-808-inspired sneaker, the PUMA RS-100 Roland.
Colors and detailing are inspired by the ‘80s hues of the TR-808 drum machine. ‘Rhythm Composer TR-808, Computer Composer’ is printed on the heel, and the outsole features lines that they say ‘mimic the lights on a synthesizer’.
Roland’s partnership with PUMA kicked off earlier this year with the unveiling of their first sneaker collaboration, PUMA’s RS-0 Roland, below, also inspired by the legendary 808 drum machine:
While the RS-0 Roland is a reboot of PUMA’s ‘80s R-System line of running sneakers, the RS-100 Roland retains a more retro look, but decked in modern materials.

Both the RS-0 and RS-100 Roland sneakers will ship on 808 Day, August 8, 2018. Details below:

I don’t like them. I want these Adidas 808 shoes, without the “toys” build in.
What kind of toys are you talking about? – These are REGULAR shoes , just with a Roland tr808 Color scheme . You can also get these in plain black or whatever without them being Roland.
Sorry for the confusion. I am talking about the Adidas/TR-808 design concept which would have had some noise maker build in. I like(d) that shoe design but not the idea of these noise maker.

Just keep making everything else except a REAL 808, Roland.
Oh,
they‘re very ugly …
Especially the color contrast between red and orange is a bad choice!
Look out for the Behringer version coming to a discount shoe store near you soon. Wear them for two days and the soles fall out but they’ll only cost €30
