English sneaker brand size? has launched another collaborative sneaker with New Balance, this time returning with two new colorways of the lifestyle-focused ‘1906R’ sneaker ahead of fall. The new iterations are similar to what New Balance and size? have put out before, but include new color combinations for a fresh look. Consumers can opt for a mixture of black, gray, off-white, brown, and burgundy shades on one version, while the second goes for a cleaner teal colorway with contrasting black accents.

The sneakers have only been teased in a series of photos uploaded on size?’s Instagram page, but consumers can stay up to date with the upcoming release date by visiting New Balance and size?’s websites.
