Is The New Balance 1906R The Trainer Of 2024?

Introducing the New Balance 1906R, a fusion of style and functionality that seamlessly blends 2000s-inspired running aesthetics with neutral cushioning for unparalleled comfort.

As the most trending silhouette to start the new year, the New Balance 1906R has garnered attention through announced collaborations with Salehe Bembury and Action Bronson, along with innovative interpretations like Junya Watanabe’s loafer-mode edition.

Let’s take a closer look at two variants hitting the shelves at Aphrodite…


The New Balance 1906R Trainers seamlessly combine 2000s-inspired running style with uncompromised comfort. Meticulously crafted, it stands as a testament to the fusion of trendy aesthetics and cushioned support, making it a quintessential addition to your footwear collection.


New Balance 1906R Trainers New Spruce


The ABZORB midsole, renowned for its impact absorption through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, elevates your stride. The synthetic/mesh upper enhances breathability while ensuring enduring style.

Engineered with the N-ergy outsole, the 1906R promises superior shock absorption for a harmonious blend of comfort and style. Stability Web outsole technology adds an extra layer of arch support, complemented by ABZORB SBS heel cushioning for stability and comfort.


New Balance 1906R Trainers Moonrock


Available in two colourways, the ‘New Spruce’ variant features moonbeam and driftwood accents, exuding sophistication. The second variant, named ‘Grey/Off-White,’ introduces an element of versatility to your footwear collection with its neutral tones. Reflective overlays and grey TPU accents produce a contemporary yet retro look, ensuring an on-trend statement that lasts.


While collaborations with Salehe Bembury and Action Bronson have generated buzz around this particular model, the in-house team at NB deserves credit for their colour-blocking and tonal choices. The metallic teal green overlay, paired with metallic gunmetal toes, a khaki heel counter, and a cream mesh base, exemplifies the in-house team’s commitment to delivering versatile and aesthetics with the ‘New Spruce’ variant, while the neutrality of the ‘Grey/Off White’ allows for infinite styling options thanks to its very ‘New Balance’ blend of easy-to-wear tones.


Inspired by the very essence of 2000s runners, the New Balance 1906R – releasing on the 1st March – is a statement of timeless style paired with tech-generated comfort. Shop New Balance Trainers today at Aphrodite, online and in-store.
