If your personal style doesn’t allow for the New Balance 1906R proper, trust that the Boston brand has made every effort to bring the silhouette in some form or fashion into your wheelhouse.

For those willing to get a bit wild with their outfit choices, it’s clearly the New Balance 1906A, extending the N lock ribbons and adding roughened edges to the overlay panels for a deconstructed, industrial profile. To date, the silhouette has matched its hardware notes with some amount of color, no doubt to assist in the head-turning quality that the model already brings to the table. For the pair at hand, it’s a complete reversal, flooding the shoe with “Arid Stone” tonality, and true to the ongoing “Grey Days” celebration, sneaking in some adjacent grays while it’s at it.

The New Balance 1906A “Arid Stone” is due out as part of the brand’s Summer/Fall slate. Expect the usual $170 sticker price upon arrival. Catch official images below and keep a bead on this pair’s launch via our Sneaker Release Dates page.
