The New Balance 1906R Gets a Rugged New Construction Makeover

— September 7, 2022 — Lifestyle
New Balance continues to add more sneaker silhouettes to its roster and the latest iteration of the 1906R sneaker model boasts elements that are true to its Protection Pack. The shoes are made from a blend of grey and off-white as the tonal palette. It's constructed from a blend of materials that start off with mesh at the base foundation.

It is then accented with overlaying details of grey suede that create that signature look. The heel cage is designed in black and matches the N logo along with the rubber outsole, and the lining sections. Notably, the outsole also has the Stability Web technology that helps with an additional arch support at the base.
