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 other moden New Balance models, they gained extra buzz when Teddy Santis’ Aime Leon Dore label chose them for a collaborative capsule collection.

It’s safe to say that the “default” layout for the New Balance 1906R relies on metallic shades and vintage details, leaning into the “dad shoe” aesthetics that have catapulted it to inescapable status. However, arguably the most well-known pairs, by way of the Action Bronson 1906R and Salehe Bembry 1906R truly go wild on the canvas, both featuring vibrant, experimental palettes. It opens up a different lane for the New Balance 1906R, one that’s been iterated on with in-line drops that keep dotting the 2024 release slate.
