In the world of New Balance, retro-style kicks have taken over and show no signs of slowing down. A silhouette making unquestionable waves is the 1906R, which pulls together the ideal blend of sportswear and vintage aesthetic. The model made its debut in 2010 but unwinds with pure ’90s vibes. Following the introduction of the white and green colorway, the New Balance 1906R now hits the stage with a tonal design. Creamy leather overlays dominate, wrapping the rear half of the upper with linear detailing. The toe boxes and tongues see a breathable mesh construction, while protectant heel guards and medial N insignia arrive in a muted grey tone. Pre-worn midsoles bring the shoe together, finished with divided black and grey rubber bottoms. The New Balance 1906R “White/Grey” is set to drop later this year at New Balance and select retailers for $150 USD. In other news, Bodega joins Suicoke to create the Kaw “One of One”.

Part of denim’s beauty is its aging process – the slow metamorphosis from a fresh pair to one with countless stories to share, as demonstrated by natural wear and tear. Beyond this, denim can serve as a canvas for one’s personality. Between custom embroidery, painted graphics and creative patchworking, denim offers the opportunity to express oneself. Focusing on these elements, Bodega and Suicoke joined forces to create a sandal that invites its owner to share stories.Outfitting the Suicoke Kaw, this “One of One” collaborative release with Bodega features denim on its upper, providing a canvas for owners to embrace the evolution of the piece as it ages and is customized. The fan favorite silhouette supports this with various shades of blue hitting the lining and straps. Subtle Bodega branding lands on the buttons while a two-tone sole unit featuring two shades of tan completes the look.Release for the Bodega x Suicoke Kaw “One of One” begins September 2 at 12pm EDT via Bodega, priced at $220 USD.
