New Balance has been setting the trend in mesh runners, with models like the 1906R gaining significant traction over the past year. The Boston-based brand has consistently delivered popular collaborations with notable names such as Action Bronson, Kith, and Up There, alongside a steady stream of coveted inline colorways. Adding to this impressive lineup, New Balance introduces the 1906R Sky Blue, a refreshing and vibrant take on the beloved silhouette.
The New Balance 1906R first gained attention as a revival of a classic, embodying the perfect blend of retro aesthetics and modern performance. Named after the year New Balance was founded, the 1906R has become a staple for sneakerheads and casual wearers alike. With its distinct design and advanced technology, this model continues to push the envelope in the sneaker world, and the new Sky Blue colorway is no exception.
The 1906R Sky Blue features a wide-spaced sandwich mesh base, ensuring breathability and comfort. The upper is adorned in varying shades of sky blue, complemented by white accents that add a crisp contrast. The iconic N logo, TPU lattice heel counter, and branding atop the tongue all sport the same sky-blue hue, creating a cohesive and clean look. White leather overlays on the toe and midfoot and a matching lace set enhance the sneaker's sleek design. The sneaker sits on a white, blue, and grey midsole paired with a clear and white rubber outsole, providing style and durability.
The New Balance 1906R Sky Blue will release in 2024 through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $160.
