New Balance debuted the 1906 in 2009, paying homage to the year the brand was founded. Since then, it has become a cultural icon in its own right, making waves in fashion, music, sports, and technology. 

After it was reissued as the 1906R, combining the original upper with the midsole of the 860v2 is taking the 1906R silhouette in a new direction with the 1906U, a utility-based version of the sneaker that continues the brand's experimentation with the classic runner. 

The latest release features the 'Angora' colorway, a mostly white upper with splashes of blue, pink, and pastel yellow hues on the TPU cage and outsole, offering a subtle appearance with a touch of colour.
