Debuting in 2009, the New Balance 1906R came out of the blue, just as we were getting acquainted with the 2002R, which was taking over the top spots in sneaker of the year thanks to the “Protection Pack.” While we were indulging in silhouettes from Teddy Santis, the new creative director of New Balance’s Made in USA line, the 1906R hit the shelves to steal the show. While New Balance continues to shine a spotlight on the 2002R, the 1906R looks to continue to make an impact for 2023. The 1906R continued the momentum gathered by the 2002R by utilizing that 2000s look . Since its release, we’ve started to see both models play off each other, with the 1906R favoring a sportier style and the 2002R going for suede and nubuck, giving each a nice point of difference. The 1906R features the N-LOCK lacing system, ABZORB technology and N-ergy cushioning to round out the shoe with a comfortable feel. The 2000s look in streetwear is becoming increasingly relevant, and we believe the 1906R perfectly captures the style of that era.
