Spring-Ready Lifestyle Sneaker Colorways

The New Balance 1906R Sneaker Model Gets a Purple Update

New Balance highlights two new colorway palettes that are seen detailing its signature 1906R sneaker model for the season. Both of these bring forth the vibrant energy of the Spring season -- this includes a lush purple colorway palette followed by a mint green hue.

These were unveiled by the brand's Lifestyle footwear designer Anna Wilson online. Although it is bright, the colorways are still muted and the construction is filled by leather and mesh throughout the upper. This gives the shoe a premium feel whilst also delivering a seamless sense of breathability. It all rests on top of a slightly chunky outsole unit. Notably, the laces over the forefoot is detailed with the classic N logo in the respective tones.
