1906R blends retro running aesthetics with modern cushioning for all-day comfort and style
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The 1906R takes everything I love about early 2000s running shoes and updates it with modern comfort. The ACTEVA LITE midsole keeps things lightweight yet cushioned, while the ABZORB SBS heel pods absorb shock on hard pavement. The open mesh upper keeps my feet cool, and the TPU heel cage adds a locked-in feel. Whether I’m walking around town or styling it up with casual outfits, the 1906R delivers that perfect mix of retro-inspired design and everyday performance."
With a nod to early 2000s running innovation, the New Balance 1906R delivers a perfect blend of performance-inspired comfort and street-ready style. A mix of ACTEVA LITE, ABZORB SBS, and N-ergy cushioning technologies work together to provide lightweight responsiveness, superior shock absorption, and a smooth ride whether we’re logging miles or strolling through the city.
Beyond its plush underfoot feel, the 1906R boasts a breathable open-mesh upper reinforced with curvilinear synthetic overlays for a sleek yet supportive fit. A TPU heel cage and Stability Web technology provide enhanced arch support and structure, keeping us feeling locked in without sacrificing flexibility. Finished with a durable rubber outsole for grip and longevity, this sneaker seamlessly transitions from high-mileage heritage to modern-day lifestyle wear.

Great model, some quality control issues.
Great model, some quality control issues. Had these about a year ago, loved them so much purchased another pair. These new one are not the same. They have a plastic smell and a chunk missing from one of the panels. Still comfortable and look great though.
