A classicNew Balancerunning shoe silhouette gets a bold, formal makeover with the release of theNew Balance 1906Lin a 'Black Croc' patent leather colorway. This new take on the sneaker-loafer hybrid blends athletic heritage with a high-end, dress-shoe aesthetic, making it one of the most unique releases of the year.
The 'Black Croc' colorway features an all-black upper with a shiny patent leather finish that is textured to resemble crocodile skin. This luxurious material completely transforms the shoe, which was originally a running model from 2009. The loafer-style silhouette maintains the 1906L's slip-on design and comfort-driven build, but the patent leather gives it a striking, premium look.
While the shoe's upper is all about style, its sole unit is all about performance. It features N-ERGY cushioning, a system of pods that provide superior shock absorption and responsive support. This blend of elegance and athletic comfort is what makes the 1906L so versatile.
