New Balance introduces a new tonal palette to join its roster decorating the 1906R sneaker model for the season with a refreshing Burgundy colorway. The shoes join the Spring 2023 season and start off with a burgundy tonal mesh material making up the upper.
It is then overlaid with leather on top in the same tone to add a durable feel and a textural contrast. This is highlighted by white details to add a brighter pop of contrast. Additional details include the N logo along the lateral side of the shoe in black, which is made to match the TPU cages on the heel section. Rounding out the shoe is the N-Lock system that stabilizes the shoe as it all sits on top of an off-white midsole.
