New Balance is bringing back the 1906R in a major way. Named for the year the brand was founded, the familiar silhouette gets a waterproof makeover crafted from CORDURA® textiles that prevent abrasions and improves the sneakers durability overall. 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 ensure comfort and stability, while a N-ergy shock absorbing outsole with a Stability Web offer adds arch support, creating a shoe that performs just as good as it looks.
