New Balance continues to make significant strides in the sneaker industry, maintaining its relevance with a strong focus on stylish mesh runners. The 1906R model, in particular, has become a standout in their lineup, capturing the attention of both sneakerheads and casual wearers alike. With collaborations such as those with Action Bronson enhancing its appeal, the 1906R is also set to expand its range with new polka dot-adorned colorways for the upcoming year, one pack set for spring and the other coming in fall. Joining the Black White and White Black colorways is the new Moonrock rendition.
The New Balance 1906R Polka Dot Moonrock sports a refined aesthetic with tonal grey hues that offer a sleek and versatile look. The upper combines a durable mesh base with premium leather and TPU overlays, providing support and a touch of elegance. The leather components adorn the mudguard and extend across the toe and midfoot, offering a structured yet comfortable fit.
A distinctive lattice TPU overlay at the heel adds a modern twist to the design. The polka dot pattern, subtly integrated into the grey mesh with a white tinted hue, adds an understated yet playful element to the shoe. This model also features a cream foam midsole borrowed from the beloved 860v2, ensuring exceptional comfort and stability. The design is completed with a matching cream rubber outsole, enhancing the shoe's overall durability and traction.
The New Balance 1906R Polka Dot Moonrock has seen a staggered release via overseas retailers and an exclusive drop at Concepts in the US. A wider release via New Balance is expected in the coming weeks. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $155.
