The New Balance 1906A Deep Blue Releases January 2025

For New Balance, 2024 was the year of the 1906R silhouette. Throughout the last 12 months, the model has been reimagined in various forms, not only through inline releases and collaborative efforts but also with new variants like the 1906A. While only a handful of colorways of the 1906A dropped this year, we can expect plenty more to come in 2025, including this Deep Blue colorway.

Exploring the theme of a “tech explosion,” the silhouette sees doubled-up paneling, asymmetrical placement, and varied materials to make a play on the Y2K and 2010s era of runners. An array of blue hues is present on multiple layers, with the wide-spaced mesh on the base taking on a deep navy blue hue to match the triangular overlay near the toe. Along this toebox, the usual vamp and leather reinforcement is placed asymmetrically, landing near the medial side of the upper in a silver finish.

The tongue also dips its toes in the asymmetrical realm as the leather patch containing NB branding leans toward the medial side. It also hosts an array of paneling offset from its typical placement and features over-stitching details. Below, the silhouette features the usual foam and rubber sole unit borrowed from the 860v2, taking on a mixture of blue, white, and navy for this color scheme.

The New Balance 1906A Deep Blue will release January 22, 2025, through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $170.
