The resident &#8220;old school&#8221; brand among the industry&#8217;s top dogs is back with another wild throwback to the 2000s, in the form of their latest New Balance 1906R offering.<\/p>\n<p>Debuting in 2010 as a premium running shoe, the 1906R, much like many of its siblings in the New Balance family, became a lifestyle statement around the same time similar athletic sneakers came back in vogue. New Balance has revitalised the 1906R through collaborations with famed streetwear brands such as South Korea&#8217;s thisisneverthat and Japan&#8217;s N.HOOLYWOOD and Invincible last year, further creating fanfare over one of its older models.<\/p>\n<p>This time, the 1906R takes a trip down memory lane, going back to the 2000s. Dressed mainly in metallic-silver, this new colorway screams Y2K from tip to heel. While both the underlying mesh layer and leather overlays carry the silver detailing, hints of blue accentuate the shoe, coupled with a dose of jet black on its famous &#8220;N&#8221; logo, heel overlay and lining.<\/p>\n<p>While we&#8217;re marvelling over distinctive aesthetics of this upcoming 1906R, it&#8217;s also worth mentioning that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2023\/01\/25\/nigos-kenzo-debuts-running-shoes-at-paris-fashion-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kenzo&#8217;s unreleased running shoes<\/a> carry a very similar vibe, utilising the same color scheme as the aforementioned sneaker. It&#8217;s a testament to how brands in the modern era are trying to encapsulate the retro-ness of the 2000s, given its recent resurgence as a trend in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy a closer look at this upcoming New Balance 1906R offering via the top slider above.
