Following the release of the highly-anticipated “Protection Pack,” New Balance is gearing up to introduce its retro-inspired 1906R model in a neutral “mindful grey” colorway ideal for the fall and winter seasons.

The tonal offering is encapsulated by an all-over tan upper featuring mesh underlays beneath suede trimmings that hit the mudguards, toe boxes, medials, and rears linearly. Standard N-LOCK New Balance logos at the sides receive a textured finish and boast contrasting metallic perimeters.

Plastic guards enhance the heel counters, while model-specific branding is seen above. Further New Balance markings are previewed on the tongues, rears, and insoles, stacked atop white N-ERGY midsoles and black rubber bottoms injected with advanced cushioning technology for increased daily comfort.

Take a closer look at the New Balance 1906R “Mindful Grey” in the gallery above. The pair is expected to drop later this year via New Balance and select retailers for $150 USD.
