New Balance is set to drop a revamped version of the 1906U this April. This early 2000s running silhouette receives a utility-inspired, worn-in aesthetic and a ‘Raincloud/Slate Grey/Magnet’ colorway.
The aged look of the sneakers is given thanks to the subtle yellowed finish that mimics natural aging. The design builds on the legacy of the original 1906, fusing modern materials with a deconstructed design.
Its neutral-toned upper, featuring grey and slate tones, stays true to New Balance’s popular ‘Raincloud’ palette. Priced at approximately ￥19,800 JPY ($130 USD), the sneakers continue the brand’s commitment to offering versatile, everyday staples incorporating retro and contemporary influences. Stay tuned for the official release on the brand’s website.
