The New Balance 1906L Is Getting a Sleek All-Black Counterpart

As a seasoned sneakerhead with decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the New Balance 1906L “Black” is a game-changer. Having witnessed the evolution of sneakers from chunky running shoes to sleek hybrid loafers, I must admit, this model has truly pushed the boundaries.


Product Name: New Balance 1906L

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for the latest fashion trends that reflect my unique style. Just like how I level up my character in a game, New Balance is leveling up their loafer hybrids with the introduction of the 1906L in “Black”. This new version echoes the coveted Junya Watanabe Man rendition that made its debut at Paris Fashion Week. Can’t wait to add this sleek black pair to my collection!

Following the reveal of the sneaker-loafer model in the brand’s traditional silver and a gray “Raincloud” version, the popular Junya Watanabe 1906L was elevated further, selling for around $332 USD. The new 1906L “Black” shares a similar color scheme with the Watanabe design but differs in its composition, featuring New Balance’s characteristic mesh uppers instead. While the toe box and collar of the original were made from smooth matte leather, black mesh is used instead on the new model, accompanied by a discreet “N” embroidered beneath the tongue.

The minimalistic 1906L model comes in black, providing a simplified alternative compared to the initial design that boasts silver accents. Moreover, this upcoming version will be priced lower than its Junya Watanabe variant, retailing for approximately $168 USD.

Lately, the American sneaker company has been showcasing a more whimsical design approach compared to their past years’ focus on technical running features and versatile everyday styles. For instance, their partnership with rapper Aminé has resulted in innovative redesigns of classic runners, such as the BTEE740, featuring an unorthodox blue and orange color palette.

1906L pushes boundaries, reimagining the traditional 1906 design by blending it with contemporary sneaker aesthetics, reflecting and responding to the evolving sneaker design trendscape.

The New Balance 1906L “Black” will arrive on December 4 via the New Balance web store.
