The highly anticipated New Balance 1906 Loafer returns in a striking black colorway, marking another milestone in the brand’s innovative footwear lineup. After immediately selling out its silver debut, New Balance strategically launches this refined iteration at a price point of $160.
The black edition showcases meticulous attention to detail with premium mesh and leather construction throughout. A distinctive glossy TPU heel counter adds subtle sophistication while maintaining the model’s groundbreaking hybrid design. The only contrast is the silver 1906L branding beneath the collar, creating a refined balance.
Since its revival in 2022, the 1906 Series has demonstrated a remarkable presence in the marketplace. The original 2009 design underwent thoughtful modifications, incorporating the sole unit of the 860v2 to meet today’s demands. The collection was expanded to include specialized variants such as the distressed 1906D and the trail-ready 1906U.
First introduced by Junya Watanabe at Paris Fashion Week, the 1906 Loafer represents a bold innovation in men’s footwear. The design bridges traditional formal wear with athletic comfort, reflecting the evolving preferences of modern consumers seeking versatile footwear options.
Mark your calendars for December 5th – the New Balance 1906 Loafer “Black/Phantom” will be available at the official New Balance website and authorized retailers.
