New Balance continues to evolve its lineup with the introduction of the New Balance 1906U, a fresh iteration following the success of the 1906R model. As we approach the Lunar New Year, New Balance is set to celebrate this festive season, with the 1906U joining the ranks alongside the 610 in commemorating this special occasion. The 1906U, first revealed in a Cream Multi-Color rendition, distinguishes itself from the 1906R with a new design approach.
The New Balance 1906U Lunar New Year Pack features two captivating colorways, one in Cream and the other in Pink. Both versions exhibit a fascinating blend of materials, combining leather, mesh, TPU, and ripstop nylon to create an upper that's not only visually appealing but also functional. Silver accents adorn the midfoot overlays, 1906U branding, and the iconic "N" logo, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design.
The color theme of each pair is carefully chosen to reflect the Lunar New Year spirit, with tonal hues that exude a sense of celebration. The insole of the sneakers mirrors the design ethos of the 610, featuring a jade green color complemented by an embroidered "NB" logo. This intricate detail adds an extra layer of cultural significance and aesthetic appeal. The 1906U has a cream midsole and tonal outsole, ensuring comfort and style.
The New Balance 1906U Lunar New Year Pack has already released overseas by Up There in Australia and will release on January 1, 2024, through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. As of this writing, the retail price has yet to be announced.
