New Balance 1906R

New Balance 1906R trainers are the ultimate running shoes for those on the lookout for a ‘balance’ of stability and fashion. The early-2000s-style upper is complemented by the latest innovations in footwear technology: ABZORB SBS heel cushioning, an N-ergy outsole with Stability Web arch support, and an ACTEVA LITE midsole. Not only this, but these runners boast an upper made from synthetic and mesh materials, which provide the necessary durability and breathability for long periods of strenuous exercise.

What Is the NB 1906R?

The New Balance 1906R was released in 2022, but this was not the first appearance of the popular silhouette. In fact, the shoe is an updated version of the original 1906 from 2009. The addition of the ‘R’ is the marker of its revival, a way to separate it from the earlier model, and if you haven’t already guessed, the ‘1906’ part of the name is a not-so-subtle nod toward New Balance’s founding date, celebrating the brand’s history.

The 1906 is credited with inspiring the 2002, a luxury sneaker that also received a re-release two years earlier, complete with the ‘R’ tag. It was the success of the 2002R that gave New Balance the confidence to push forward with the revival of the sneaker that laid the foundations, and the NB 1906R is following the same path to acclaim.
