New Balance 1906R Protection Pack Black

New Balance’s new 1906R silhouette is next up for the Protection Pack make-up and it is certainly one to get excited for. New Balance has recently paved its way in the footwear scene with its slew of silhouettes of both old and new, resonating with past and present sneakerheads alike. While the 1906R first debuted in 2009, New Balance recognises that it fits into the current sneaker shop space better than ever, giving us customers a selection of hot colourways to pick from. The Protection Pack delivers an edition of the 1906R that most won’t be able to turn down, adding yet another shoe to the collection.

The upper is where you can find the signature jagged rough cuts of the Protection Pack, draped in black and grey suede. Underneath the panelling lies a black mesh that forms the majority of the upper, allowing for decent breathability on a shoe that appears so heavily packed. On the heel lies the 1906R’s plastic heel cage, which along with the wide base of the ABZORB sole unit, provides further stability. The tongue label has also been given the jagged cut update, with even the bottom eyestay having a skewed finish. A cream midsole can be found below, contrasting the darker hues from above while still including the red “NERGY” hit.
