Following the debut of two Cordura-infused renditions, the New Balance 1906R is hitting shelves in a dim “Castlerock” colorway. The retro silhouette has previously seen several vintage-inspired releases and now arrives in a two-toned palette slated to dominate the winter season. The New Balance 1906R is designed with a mixture of suede, leather, and mesh, the latter gracing the toe boxes, which see textured decor in a linear fashion. The medials feature tonal leather underlays that sit beneath suede panels, and the heel counters are adorned with model-specific branding. Plastic heel guards don a glossy finish, while “Natural Indigo” medial “N” logos see a fuzzy layout and metallic perimeters. Mesh tongues are stamped with New Balance branding, completing the design with dusty N-ERGY midsoles and split rubber bottoms.
