Making its debut in 2009, New Balance’s 1906R silhouette has pushed into the footwear market this year, dominating shelves far and wide with various makeovers, from the vibrant “Neon Lights” pair to many Cordura renditions. The highly-anticipated “Protection Pack” recently made its first appearance and now receives a closer look with four rumored colorways. The new line-up sees pairs doused in tones of white, beige, black, and grey — holding a similar palette to previous 2002R iterations. The refreshed “Protection Pack” maintains its torn-up aesthetic, featuring slashed suede overlays that allow tonal mesh underlays to peek through. Standard “N” logos hit the medials with metallic perimeters, while rugged leather tags hang from the lower laces and heels, boasting diverse branding styles. The tongues sport New Balance lettering and N-LOCK lacing systems, ABZORB technology, and N-ergy cushioning complete the kicks on a comfortable note. Take a closer look at the forthcoming New Balance 1906R “Protection Pack” in the gallery above. All four pairs are rumored to drop in 2023 via New Balance and select retailers for $190 USD.
