New Balance's 1906R Gets the 'Black' Treatment for Fall/Winter

— August 29, 2022 — Fashion
New Balance’s 1906R sneaker is receiving the all-black treatment ahead of the Fall and Winter fashion seasons. The sneaker silhouette, which was recently re-introduced by New Balance, seems to be the sneaker giant’s preferred silhouette for collaborations with the likes of size?, thisisneverthat, and more.

The New Balance 1906R in ‘Black’ boasts a combination of mesh and suede for the uppers, while black decorates the NLOCK logos on the sides. Hints of white can be seen on the stitched elements of the uppers. 1906R branding can be spotted on the lateral heels, tongue tags, and heel counters, while the shoe itself rests on light brown ABZORB midsoles and a black rubber outsole.

The 1906R in ‘Black’ launches in the near future via New Balance and select retailers.
