# Rapper-Collaborative Colorful Sneakrs Action Bronson Creates His Own 1906R Sneaker By Amy Duong | Published 2024-05-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1906r-sneaker-7 References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/action-bronson-new-balance-sneaker-2024-where-to-buy/)  Rapper [Action Bronson](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hornet-tusk) is no stranger to [New Balance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/action-bronson-and-new-balance) as the duo have worked together before on the 990s but this time around, he highlights the [1906R](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1906r-collection) 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.
