The New Balance 1906A Shifts Into Contrasting “Eggplant”

Vibrant and neutral clash on the "Refined Future" model.

The New Balance 1906A Shifts Into Contrasting “Eggplant”

Despite its in-your-face profile, the New Balance 1906A has an understated approach in its market entrance. First revealed in June 2024, just over a half-dozen colorways have hit the public since. However, as the brand’s 2025 efforts earnestly get underway, a more full-throated effort behind the 1906A is seemingly in the cards for New Balance, as the “Eggplant” version at hand adds to a healthy crop of fresh colorways that have recently hit the newswire.

To put it bluntly, the purple accents and neutral base make this specific colorway run very close to two recently unveiled pairs, the New Balance 1906A “Inkwell” and New Balance 1906A “Olive Juice.” What most clearly sets this shoe apart is the visible GEL that rests just underfoot, clad in the reddish brown that paces the overlays. As promised, some jagged lavender tonality adds a layer of depth and contrast towards the forefoot. Even with that eye-catching accent, the destructed aesthetics of the New Balance 1906A remain the star of the shoe in this “Eggplant” outfit.

Look for the New Balance 1906A “Eggplant” to hit NB.com and partnering retailers as we enter the Spring/Summer season. Be ready for a $170 sticker price once this shoe materializes. You can catch official images ahead in the meantime, and stick close to our Sneaker Release Dates hub for more info down the line.
