New Balance continues to impress with its innovative takes on classic styles, particularly with the introduction of the 1906L model, a stylish loafer version of the beloved 1906R mesh runner. After a successful launch in the second half of 2024, 2025 will feature a new Rich Oak colorway.
The New Balance 1906L Rich Oak steps away from its predecessors' typical mesh and synthetic materials, opting instead for a luxurious full-suede upper that exudes a rich, autumnal vibe. This model features the distinctive triangular overlays of the 1906R, adapted to suit the loafer's sleek silhouette. Integrating a TPU heel counter enhances durability without sacrificing the shoe’s refined aesthetic.
