The success of the 1st drop of 2002R « Protection Pack » led NEW BALANCE to imagine new eye-catching colorways, but also to transpose this design on another retro silhouette updated : the 1906. A special version was teased in a first night blue/charcoal grey/ grey makeup.
This 2000’s running model has been reworked to fit more into the lifestyle category of the Boston brand, while keeping its technical and performance qualities.
The 1906D features an upper that combines a mesh base with irregular overlays of more or less hairy suede.
As with the 2002R, the panels have additional inserts that accentuate the look and assert the inspiration. The iconic side logo features added leather and NLOCK. To complete the design, the silhouette’s name « 1906D » appears on the black leather insert under the ankle, the tongue retains its traditional finish, and the heel gets a sturdy and stylish black reinforcement. The whole is based on a yellowed N-ERGY midsole that adds a vintage touch to the pair, as well as a speckled black outsole.
The New Balance 1906D « Protection Pack » will be released over the next few months at select retailers and on newbalance.com. For the latest updates, stay tuned !
