The 1906R, like its cousins the 2002R and the 860v2, is led by a sole unit featuring a combination of flexible ACTEVA LITE cushioning, shock absorbing N-ergy, and segmented ABZORB SBS pods at the heel. This hi-tech approach is also reflected in the 1906R’s upper design, which features open-holed mesh and a series of curvilinear synthetic overlays. This distinctive take on the era’s design conventions offers a refined execution of high-performance heritage.

The mesh upper makes it super soft - they're extremely comfortable. I?ve tried them in the gym & also ran in an open ground. Super!Although I wanted to purchase some other colour I went with the available option & a great deal. I?d buy another pair once more colourways are available on Myntra.

This was my first pair of 1906R. I liked them so much that I recently grabbed another color. They’re versatile, comfortable and so good looking. Perfect shoe for the upcoming spring and summer! They fit a tiny bit more snug than 990 models but I still wear them in the same size (TTS)

I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with this shoe. The color of the shoe is not only eye-catching but also adds a great touch of style. The comfort level is beyond expectations, making it a standout feature. While it falls on the higher end in terms of price in my opinion, the overall satisfaction I've experienced makes it a smart and worthwhile investment. If you're looking for a shoe that combines aesthetics and comfort, this option is definitely worth considering.

Great shoes. I use them for work and working out. So comfortable and great color. I didn’t give them 5 stars because the laces are long so when I tie them the bow is very big so it doesn’t look cute. I could care less but others might find that annoying.
This is my first pair of new balances and I absolutely LOVE them. I was deciding between these and the 530s, went to the store to try them on. These were wildly more comfortable. I often go for long walks so these shoes are perfect!! The silver is also less bright in person which I prefer. Great option
Bad quality! Quality control needs to improve!! 1) The right shoe came with a little piece of fabric that was not properly sewn.2) both shoes show improper alignment within the design (for example - the gray lines do not align, the logo off center).I didn’t want to deal with the hassle of return/exchange, so I tried to fix problem 1 myself.
I only recently discovered the 1906 and it quickly became my favorite NB model. It's not only super comfortable but the design is sleek, including the clever way it utilizes straps on the sides to create the two downstrokes of the "N" logo. At this point I now have a half-dozen pairs in different colorways, and after looking up past colorways online I regret not copping a few of those, too.
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
These are awesome! I took a gamble and got the Sea Salt ones and i gotta say, they look so much better in hand and on feet! i think the white background makes these look more yellow and for that reason i think people are sleeping on these compared to the pink ones but they look SO MUCH better in person. the base color is much more white then they appear in photos. the plastic bits have an almost transparent light yellow hue but the main color is white. on the inner part of the toe there’s a part that’s noticeably green but it’s light. I can see these being a GREAT option for spring and summer wear. As always with NB’s these will be endlessly versatile. dress them up, dress them down. whatever. comfort is a plus, but i find with this model they seem to fit just a ... MoreThese are awesome!

As always with NB’s these will be endlessly versatile. dress them up, dress them down. whatever. comfort is a plus, but i find with this model they seem to fit just a LITTLE bit small. I have no abnormally wide or flat footed feet. I have another pair of 1906s and 2002s that are both 11s and while i have to lace them a bit tighter, they seem to be more roomy.Another thing to note about these is these have weird laces. not necessarily in a bad way, just different. neither of my other 1906s have laces like this and it might be a turnoff for others especially if you plan on wearing these with more lace visible.In conclusion, these are definite sleepers. IMO much more versatile than the Pink ones. Pick these up before the hypebeasts realize what they’re missing out on!
After a month of light walking, one shoe's sole became unglued, and I am devastated. I don't do anything crazy with my shoes, just a light treadmill walk. To add to my frustration, New Balance only accepts returns and does not allow for exchanges. So I'd have to wait for them to refund me before buying a new pair, which would leave me without gym shoes for about two weeks. I would drive to the store, but I don't own a car. While stylish, these sneakers lack durability and the customer service was ok. Buyers beware.
