New Balance’s “Refined Future” series has been a game-changer, pushing the brand’s popular 1906R into the spotlight with a mix of rugged deconstruction and vintage-inspired design.
Here the Slate Grey/Tan edition leans into a stealthy, industrial vibe, maintaining the signature extended paneling and distressed overlays of the 1906A, complemented by vintage white trims on the sole and collar to balance the bold, modern construction.
The deconstructed style and aged elements blend retro tech-runner trends with a contemporary edge, reinforcing the 1906A’s place as a fashion-forward evolution of New Balance’s dad-shoe dominance.
