As New Balance continues basking in its success's glory, it’s not letting go of what has brought it here. The brand has continued to tap partners like retailer DTLR, which has consistently had the opportunity to work on exclusive products that have become hits among the NB community. One of the people responsible for this beautiful partnership is June Sanders, Design Director and buyer for DTLR, who recently teased us with a first look at the next DTLR NB drop.
Tackling the ever-popular 1906R silhouette, a model previously subject to a DTLR project in October last year, the pair flips the script compared to the Starry Night colorway. While vibrant colors are still present on the mesh runner, DTLR opts for a stark white mesh base accented by royal blue overlays on the toebox and midfoot and metallic silver panels on the mudguard and heel.
Pops of yellow land along the N logo and nylon lace loops contrast the white and blue lace set nearby. Unfortunately, the baggy jeans in this initial photo obscure the tongue and heel, but we can see what's beneath the upper. Here, the 1906R's midsole, derived from the 860v2 silhouette, comes coated in a sky blue hue and accented by pops of red on the heel. Finishing the design is the royal blue rubber outsole.
The latest DTLR-exclusive New Balance 1906R Moon Sign will release on March 7, 2025, through DTLR online and in-store. Available in men’s, GS, and PS sizing, the retail price is $165, $120, and $110, respectively.
