1906R blends retro running aesthetics with modern cushioning for all-day comfort and style
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The 1906R takes everything I love about early 2000s running shoes and updates it with modern comfort. The ACTEVA LITE midsole keeps things lightweight yet cushioned, while the ABZORB SBS heel pods absorb shock on hard pavement. The open mesh upper keeps my feet cool, and the TPU heel cage adds a locked-in feel. Whether I’m walking around town or styling it up with casual outfits, the 1906R delivers that perfect mix of retro-inspired design and everyday performance."
With a nod to early 2000s running innovation, the New Balance 1906R delivers a perfect blend of performance-inspired comfort and street-ready style. A mix of ACTEVA LITE, ABZORB SBS, and N-ergy cushioning technologies work together to provide lightweight responsiveness, superior shock absorption, and a smooth ride whether we’re logging miles or strolling through the city.
Beyond its plush underfoot feel, the 1906R boasts a breathable open-mesh upper reinforced with curvilinear synthetic overlays for a sleek yet supportive fit. A TPU heel cage and Stability Web technology provide enhanced arch support and structure, keeping us feeling locked in without sacrificing flexibility. Finished with a durable rubber outsole for grip and longevity, this sneaker seamlessly transitions from high-mileage heritage to modern-day lifestyle wear.

Good for walking
I recently purchased the 1906R for the first time, and while I initially loved the colour, it was the performance that truly impressed me. After undergoing meniscus tear surgery, walking has been quite challenging with other shoes. However, these shoes feel incredibly light and comfortable, providing excellent support and relaxation for my entire foot. I’m definitely planning to buy a few more pairs!

Silver Cool Kicks
I have been wanting a silver sneaker that isn't boring. This is perfect with the mixed materials and shades of greys around the silver bits. 1906 is a typically comfortable lifestyle sneaker, I already own other colour ways, this is another WANT to my collection.

New Shoes
I needed new shoes to fit over my solid leg brace. I needed a roomy toe box and lots of room to get the brace into the shoe. These shoes are great. I like the colours and they are comfortable.
