New Balance unveils another tonal iteration of the signature 1906R sneaker model for the Winter season with the Castlerock colorway palette joining its roster. The retro sneakers are designed with a dual tonal look with vintage properties. It boasts a construction of suede, mesh, and leather across the upper.
At the toe boxes are the mesh materials for breathability and the medials are designed with tonal leather underlaying. Suede makes up the soft paneling and the heel counters are marked with branding accents that nod to the model. The heel guards are made from plastic to create a shiny look to it, which stands out in contrast to the dimmed and neutral tonal base foundation.
