New Balance is bringing back the 1906R in a major way. Named for the year the brand was founded, the familiar silhouette is updated with an upper inspired by running shoe designs from the 2000s. Now with considerably more lifestyle appeal, the 1906R is still a staple in the running world, boasting a timeless look and modern tech upgrades. ACTEVA LITE in the midsole and ABZORB SBS cushioning in the heel, for example, ensure comfort and stability, while a N-ergy shock absorbing outsole with a Stability Web offer added arch support, ultimately equating to a shoe that performs just as good as it looks.
