The New Balance 1906L “Metallic Pink” flips convention on its head with high-shine pink leather that gleams like a disco ball—yet blends sporty mesh and ABZORB cushioning to create a loafer-sneaker hybrid that’s equal parts frivolous fun and performance-ready.

Design & Materials

The 1906L “Metallic Pink” (U1906LAU) reimagines the loafer silhouette through a bold, futuristic lens. The upper layers glossy metallic pink leather, mauve strap, salmon-hued mesh, and beige underlays—balanced by a grey heel cage and anchored by a black outsole—for a rich palette that’s flashy without losing structural poise. The open-hole mesh, curvilinear synthetic overlays, and 860v2 sole unit (with ABZORB SBS heel pods) ensure a needed dose of comfort amid all the shine.

Comfort & Performance

Underneath its flashy exterior, the 1906L offers serious comfort thanks to its ABZORB SBS heel pods and 860v2-inspired sole—providing soft landings and shock absorption for all-day wear. The slip-on loafer format keeps things casual and easy, while the mesh and overlays maintain flexibility and structure for real-life movement.
