After a stellar 2024 highlighted by multiple new variants of the 1906R silhouette, New Balance is picking up right where it left off in the new year. Quickly following the debut of the 1906L, which turned the once-performance runner into a loafer, New Balance is bringing us the 1906W, inspired by the brand’s military-issued 925v2. After official images of four launch colorways appeared online, we have a first look at the upcoming Green Orange variant.
Unlike the original four colors that featured monochromatic finishes across the board, this Green Orange variant sees a two-tone knit mesh base in orange and white stretch across the silhouette back to the heel. Above this sits a Fantomfit overlay, transitioning from a solid light green to an aqua blue from the toe to the collar. This overlay passes by the N logo, which takes on orange, green, and aqua-blue hues and contrasts the solid orange hits on the suede eyelets.
