The latest colorway added to the New Balance 1906R lineup is a vibrant nod to the Charlotte Hornets.

The newest addition sees the shoe constructed in its typical clean, white open mesh upper, this time featuing enhanced accents in aqua blue and purple. The aqua blue details the eyelet loops, the “N” branding on the side, hell tab and portions of the midsole. Rounding out the Hornets colored hue, the shoe is also accentuated with purple highlights throughout the shoe across the upper and outsole. With a black heel counter and an aged ABZORB cushioned midsole, the sneaker is bound for style and comfort.

Take a look above at the upcoming Hornets-inspired New Balance 1906R set to be available in select retailers and online at New Balance in the coming months for $155 USD.
