New Balance presents its new 1906R Protection Pack for the reason that continues to grow the brand's ongoing project. It features new iterations that include four colorways -- all of which are neutral for a versatile and minimal design language. This includes white, beige, black, and grey.
Similar to the brand's previous 2002R Protection Pack, it retains its worn-in aesthetics that highlight the slashed suede overlays and the tonal mesh that rest beneath. Additional details include the branded N logos on the medial side of the shoe complete with metallic lining for a contrasting look. The lower laces have rugged leather hang tags that continue along the heels. The tongues round out the look with more branding and the N-LOCK lacing system.
