The New Balance 1906L “Black Cement Blue Gemstone” fuses a timeless black base with striking blue accents, turning the loafer-sneaker hybrid into a bold statement that bridges classic style and modern edge.

Design & Materials

The 1906L “Black Cement/Blue Gemstone” updates the lifestyle-driven loafer silhouette with premium construction. Black mesh and suede underlays set a dark, refined foundation, while overlays in Blue Gemstone metallic bring sharp contrast across the strap and support frame. Cement grey hits reinforce the midfoot and heel, tying back to New Balance’s heritage palettes. The slip-on format with a single strap instead of laces keeps the loafer-like identity, while the layered runner DNA of the 1906 series ensures it retains a technical look.

Comfort & Performance

Despite its elevated style, the 1906L is rooted in comfort thanks to the 860v2-inspired sole. ABZORB SBS heel pods absorb impact, while the cushioned midsole supports all-day wear. The combination of breathable mesh and structured overlays keeps the fit supportive without sacrificing flexibility, making the pair as practical as it is eye-catching.
