Origin, History, and Inspiration
The New Balance 1906W is a modern reinterpretation of the brand's classic 1906 series, which originally debuted in 2009.
Named after the year New Balance was founded, the 1906 line has been celebrated for its blend of performance and style.
The 1906W,
introduced in early 2025, builds upon this legacy by incorporating contemporary design elements and advanced technologies, catering to both athletes and lifestyle enthusiasts.
Description and Construction
The 1906W features a breathable knit upper with durable synthetic overlays arranged in a
distinctive webbed pattern, offering both support and a modern aesthetic.
This design enhances airflow, ensuring comfort during extended wear. The shoe's sole unit is engineered for optimal performance, combining flexible ACTEVA LITE cushioning, shock-absorbing N-ergy, and segmented ABZORB SBS pods at the heel.

Comfort Level
The integration of ACTEVA LITE midsole cushioning ensures lightweight support, while the N-ergy outsole provides superior shock absorption.
