Even as the brand issues additional embraces of the tech runner movement that give it some inline competition, the New Balance 1906R has persisted as arguably NB’s strongest. In the stream of fresh colorway options that come with that defining status, we’ve noted on plenty of occasions before that Boston designers have to continually push the envelope to keep energy up, and for our money, the “Cookies And Cream” New Balance 1906R that just hit the site is one of the more visually arresting we’ve seen in recent weeks.

An dark/light split is how the shoe at hand accomplishes that fate, pinning white leather overlays atop black mesh, an inversion of the typical layouts we continually see on the model. Making good on our unofficial title are the off-white tones that additionally dot the profile, manifesting in the vintage-style sole underfoot and the mesh collar at the rear of this design.

The New Balance 1906R is available now via NewBalance.com and partnering retailers, commanding a $155 sticker price. Hit the “Where To Buy” links included below to grab yours.

Elsewhere for the Boston brand, the New Balance 204L continues to pick up steam as a strong contender in the “slim sole” field.
