New Balance introduces new iterations of the 1906R sneaker model for the season with the new launches of the M1906RA and the M1906RB silhouettes to join its roster. Both of the designs celebrate the 2000s aesthetics and retain the running functions of the overall construction.
The M1906RA sneaker is made with a white mesh material at the base foundation before being overlaid with synthetic materials in contrasting black, silver, and gold. The M1906RB sneaker model gets a darker tonal look with khaki nubuck materials creating the upper on top of a grey mesh base foundation and accented with silver synthetic panels on top. Some technology includes the ABZORB technology, N-lock lacing system, and the N-ergy cushioning.
