The New Balance 9060 and New Balance 550 were able to create such a serious cultural cache for their “goes with everything” appeal. It made the introduction of the New Balance 1906R such a sharp left turn, as the now-dominant silhouette instead tended towards zanier looks, exemplified by shoes like the Salehe Bembury or Action Bronson New Balance 1906R. As time has gone on, the revitalized model has begun to cater to those who may not be as adventurous with their wardrobe. The New Balance 1906R “Sea Salt” is a perfect answer for those folks, hitting shelves in short order.
Though this shoe flips the script by making the grey tonality so synonymous with New Balance an accent shade and instead spotlighting off-white, the overall neutral profile will read as familiar for longtime fans of the Boston brand. The only interruption to that dominant atmosphere comes on the midsole, laces and N-lock branding, where vivid navy notes are able to cut through an otherwise desaturated outfit.
The New Balance 1906R “Sea Salt” is expected for a Fall ’24 release, commanding a $155 retail price.
