Much like its catalog peer the 9060, the New Balance 1906R remains one the more popular choices in the revived throwback running space, something that’s propelled the Boston brand to keep the shelves lined with a myriad of color make-ups to befit the silhouette’s baked-in demand.

of course, a vast majority of the looks that surface on a seasonal basis meet the inherent expectations within that Y2K vertical, frequently matching its turn-of-the-century composition with silvery overtones. As we unpack the “Mint Flash” New Balance 1906R at hand, that’s unchanged, leaving the real innovation to the neon accent shade that brackets said standard choice. On top of the coating the tongue, dying the front half of the outsole, and coursing through the overlays, a pop of “Lime Leaf” embedded in the rear ABZORB pods helps tie together what this pair has to offer.

The New Balance 1906R “Mint Flash” should hit NB.com in the near future, but pairs are available early via retailers already. They can be yours for $155 — follow the “Where To Buy” links ahead to pick up yours if you’re so inclined.
