Rapper Action Bronson is no stranger to New Balance as the duo have worked together before on the 990s but this time around, he highlights the 1906R sneaker as the main canvas. The shoes are defined by an explosion of colors, making this iteration the most vibrant yet.
The rapper's admiration of bright tones details the various materials making up the upper, including the breathable mesh and leather overlaying throughout. Additionally, the tones also make their way through the chunky sole unit. When looking at the insoles, it reads "BAKLAVA" along with New Balance branding in a bright green against a dark base. This continues at the tongue as well -- the shoe is set to launch on May 31st.
