The New Balance 1906R continues to factor heavily into the Boston brand’s 2024 release plans. While an Action Bronson collaboration still looms, nothing is keeping the in-line versions of the model from getting their shine. With summer on the horizon, the shoe is responding in kind, adopting a “White/Purple/Pink” look for its next drop.

Given that our past few looks at the New Balance 1906R have draped it in multi-colored, explosive outfits, this more conservative adornment is something of a surprise. It really only utilizes two contrast shades, a raspberry pink that dances across the laces via the “N Lock” system and a royal purple that paints the heel cage. The rest of the shoe relies on a familiar formulation of neutral shades, with mesh in pure white and two eggshell shades painting the suede overlays atop it. Even in this reigned-in manner, the tech futurism of the 1906R’s layered linework still shines through all the same.

Based on initial info, it would seem the New Balance 1906R “White/Purple/Pink” will be releasing this Summer. It’ll carry a $140 retail price when they do officially drop- take a look at the full image gallery below to get a closer look ahead of that day.

For more on NB, two colorways of the long-awaited New Balance 1000 have surfaced.
