New Balance introduces another tonal iteration of the 1906R sneaker model with the white and grey colorway palette to join the roster for the season. It is designed with a versatile color palette that captures a 90s aesthetic and starts off with a white base foundation.
The shoe is detailed with creamy tonal leather overlaying on top and warps around the back side of the upper with linear details. The toe box sections and the tongues are made from a mesh material for breathability. It features protective heel guards and the N motif by the medial side of the shoe in a muted grey -- it all sits on top of a pre-worn aesthetic midsole foundation.
