For New Balance, 2024 was the year of the 1906R silhouette. Throughout the last 12 months, the model has been reimagined in various forms, not only through inline releases and collaborative efforts but also with new variants like the 1906A. While only a handful of colorways of the 1906A dropped this year, we can expect plenty more to come in 2025, including this Deep Blue colorway.
Exploring the theme of a “tech explosion,” the silhouette sees doubled-up paneling, asymmetrical placement, and varied materials to make a play on the Y2K and 2010s era of runners. An array of blue hues is present on multiple layers, with the wide-spaced mesh on the base taking on a deep navy blue hue to match the triangular overlay near the toe. Along this toebox, the usual vamp and leather reinforcement is placed asymmetrically, landing near the medial side of the upper in a silver finish.
