The New Balance 1906R is one of the label's newer shoes, but it has made quite the statement this year with a selection of hyped silhouettes. This clean and crisp rendition opts for mesh and synthetic overlays along with sharp multi-tonal accents. The branding is fitted with Nlock lacing too, while hardwearing rubber soles are injected with N-ergy and ABZORB technology. | M1906RB, Leather & Textile Upper/Synthetic Sole.

Only negative is the white part scuffs easily and the New Balance plastic tab, broke off after 3 uses. Wish the N sign was embroidered or was more durable. Probably won't buy this model again if the N sign is plastic again in the future.

I knew I wanted this shoe when official photos released on social media. It really is a beautiful one. I’m just waiting on two more from the pack to release.It did come with a ton of factory flaws and glue stains but other than that it was fine. Also, when looking down at my foot it does seem a little chunky/bulky(I tried it on, haven’t worn it yet). I think that could just be because of the material though. I am a true 8M in most cases but I did size up on these by a 1/2 a size. I have flat/medium wide feet. Personally, I like to be able to move my toes a bit. I do not like a super snug fit. I suggest going into any retail store that sells 1906s and trying a pair on before purchasing online to avoid the hassle of having to return and reorder if the size doesn’t ... MoreI knew I wanted this shoe when official photos released on social media.

That’s how I knew I needed to size up because like I said, I was waiting for this drop lol.

If you have bunions—I mean, not that I do, I’m just saying—if you have bunions, you’ll know that most NB shoes are uncomfortably narrow in the forefoot unless you go for the EE option This one is different tho and has a bit more room than usual. The ride is bouncy and cush. The garish colorways are perfect for complementing any serious dad fit—i.e. for embarrassing the wife and kids.

Best walking shoes I’ve gotten. I have not taken them off since they arrived. I do my daily walks on a nature with these. Just a great shoe all around as they are stylish as well. Had some minor defects as paint on the mesh which is why I gave the quality a 3.
I love them at first sight. When I put them on the first time I liked the comfyness and style. I would give these a 5 stars but unfortunately after the second wear I noticed the sole of the shoe had gone unglued. What a bummer. I wanted to love them fo reals. I jave other few pairs the 530s and the 9060s but after looking at these in the website decided to purchase and I feel bummed out with the quality. Til tgis day New Balance customer service gives me the run around ugh.
Never received my purchase. New Balance sent the sneakers with NB on the box. When UPS delivered the package. The package was just left in the lobby on a window seal. Someone stole the package. Now an investigation was supposed to happen but no one is taking the blame so I’m just without my sneakers. Thank You New Balance for advertising your name on the box so everyone knows what’s in the box. When I order from Nike.com. It comes in a plan box Nike isn’t even on the label. I will never order from New Balance again.
The only reason I took away a star is because my initial pair had some minor defects in it. I love the 1906r’s. It’s something about the back of the shoe that’s so appealing. I wore my first pair to a baseball game and let’s just say the comfort was A-1. With this latest colorway, I added a little gold accent to the shoe strings. The forest green goes perfectly with my gold and forest green purse
I went to Atlantic City over the weekend. I go to get dressed and I pulled the sneakers out of the box for the first time and I noticed a grey paint mark on my shoe, very disappointing as I only brought these and a pair of slides so I had to wear them. I'm very particular so it bothered me all night. I'll most likely not wear them again it's my loss I guess because I had to wear them. I won't be ordering from the NB site again as I see now I have to inspect the sneakers in person before I purchase them. Very disappointed.
To start I love new balance. There shoes are so cute but stylish. I love to wear more of a street wear style and also have the 2002r protection packs. I was nervous about ordering online but after I read the description about the shoes being “cousins” I knew I needed to try them out for myself. They are amazing! Fit perfect- (same size as my 2002r) (women’s 7.5 men’s 6) go buy them right now!!!
