New Balance 1906R

The New Balance 1906R is a running lifestyle model that first debuted in 2009. Their initial run was less than spectacular, leading to the silhouette to be shelved until their 2022 re-emergence with the “R” tag, indicating remastered construction. As with plenty other modern New Balance models, the silhouette gained extra buzz when Teddy Santis’ Aime Leon Dore label chose them for a collaborative capsule collection.

The default layout for the New Balance 1906R largely relies on metallic shades and vintage details, leaning into the dad shoe aesthetics that make the shoe so appealing today. However, arguably the most well-known pairs, by way of the Action Bronson 1906R and Salehe Bembury 1906R take that construction far further, grafting multi-color experimental palettes onto the model. A late addition to that collaborative series, the Jack Harlow New Balance 1906 utilizes a similar expressive theme. These pairs opened up a far more vibrant lane for the former archive piece, one that’s been explored with in-line drops that continue dotting the 2024 release slate.
