Distressed Deep Tonal Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The New Balance 1906D Sneaker Model Gets a Deep Sea Hue

— December 10, 2024 — Fashion
atmos continues to work in collaboration with New Balance as the two present a new colorway palette of the New Balance 1906D model. It gets a Deep Sea palette this time around which is a deep range of hues that adorn a layer of breathable mesh materials and suede to add some texture throughout the upper.

It is done in dark blue shades which are reminiscent of the deep ocean waters. Additionally, the 'Protection Pack' build forms a distressed look that continues to build on the theme. This gives it a jagged overlay which follows the same theme that was created by designer Yue Wu back in 2020. Throughout the years, many New Balance sneakers have received the same distressed treatment.
