If you're a big fan of the legendary 1906R but you're looking for something that's a little more on the contemporary side, the upcoming New Balance 1906W Black is absolutely worth your attention. Giving the old school runner a fresh dose of new school energy, here's everything you need to know about this covert color combo.
One of the first things that you'll notice about the 1906W is the trippy overlay that takes over the Black Cement mesh upper. It looks like a web, right? It's actually the same Fantomfit overlay used on the brand's military-issued 950v2. Decked out in a gradient effect that fades from light grey to Castlerock, it's one of the most unique New Balances that we've ever seen.
