The New Balance 1906L 'Black Croc' brings high-lux texture to a heritage running silhouette—sleek mock-croc embossing, tonal black finishes and refined structure merge to transform a runner-inspired design into city-ready sophistication.

Design & Materials

The New Balance 1906L “Black Croc” (U1906LCR) features a full black upper in premium leather, embossed with a crocodile-scale pattern for added texture and depth. Subtle black TPU accents and matching black “N” branding maintain the monochrome look, while the layered construction and low-profile sole unit keep the runner DNA intact. The mocassin-inspired finish elevates the 1906L into smart-casual territory without losing its technical roots.

Comfort & Performance

Though styled for elevated looks, the 1906L still delivers the comfort expected from the line: breathable mesh and leather upper provide structure and airflow, while the midsole cushioning ensures all-day wearability. The runner-inspired base keeps the silhouette agile and comfortable for urban movement.
