New Balance Unveils Another Retro 1906 Sneaker Model
References: highsnobiety
The New Balance 1906 sneaker model makes another return as it is detailed with another makeover. The 1906A silhouette is set to release and it is defined by its deconstructed elements throughout the upper. The shoes appear to have an unfinished look which is led by the exposed stitching accents and fabric pieces that are loose around the shoe.
Additionally, it also has an uneven edge along the sides which has all been done on purpose and is reminiscent of the brand's Protection Pack. The new 1906A silhouette follows the same theme as it has a retro theme with a chunky base and is detailed with imperfect paneling throughout with large pieces of fabric hanging off the side.
