New Balance 1906R

The New Balance 1906R is a running lifestyle model that first debuted in 2009. Their initial run was less than spectacular, leading to the silhouette to be shelved until their 2022 re-emergence with the “R” tag, indicating remastered construction. As with plenty other modern New Balance models, the silhouette gained extra buzz when Teddy Santis’ Aime Leon Dore label chose them for a collaborative capsule collection.

The default layout for the New Balance 1906R largely relies on metallic shades and vintage details, leaning into the dad shoe aesthetics that have catapulted it to inescapable status. However, arguably the most well-known pairs, by way of the Action Bronson 1906R and Salehe Bembury 1906R truly go wild on the canvas, both featuring multi-color experimental palettes. A late addition to that series, the Jack Harlow New Balance 1906R also iterates on similar explosive theming. These pairs opened up a far more vibrant lane for the New Balance 1906R, one that’s been explored with in-line drops that continue dotting the 2024 release slate.
