Following a <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/10\/12\/old-but-gold-new-balance-1906r-new-vintage-pack\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;New Vintage&#8221; pack<\/a>, a new black colorway has just been revealed.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">This time, New Balance aims for a darker and moodier vibe by going full on black. The upper on this NB 1906R is constructed with black mesh, then topped off with black suede overlays. The &#8220;N&#8221; logo is outlined in white, while white stitching is used on the overlays. The pre-aged aesthetic, well-loved by sneakerheads, returns by way of a yellowed midsole, giving it a used and vintage look.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The updated New Balance 1906R &#8220;Black&#8221; also features some of the Boston footwear brand&#8217;s best tech on the soles, such as ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning. This all new black colorway has already been released in China; a wider global release is expected to happen soon, so stay tuned for more updates.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, New Balance is reuniting with JJJJound on a pair of New Balance 991, <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/10\/19\/jjjjound-x-new-balance-991-is-a-classy-return-to-their-first-collaboration\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>&#8216;s the first looks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/snkrdunk_int\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22285 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy.webp\" alt=\"Magazine-Bottom-Banner\" width=\"970\" height=\"\u201c300\u201d\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy.webp 970w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-300x93.webp 300w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-768x238.webp 768w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20154621\/Magazine-Bottom-Banner-copy-282x87.webp 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A darker, moodier vibe for the New Balance 1906R.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":53234,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,21,18,6,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brands","category-calendar","category-latest-news","category-new-balance","category-releases"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53226"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53226"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":66311,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53226\/revisions\/66311"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
