Name: New Balance 1906L “Concord”
Colorway: Rose Sugar/Pink
SKU: TBD
MSRP: $160 USD
Release Date: Spring 2026
Where to Buy: New Balance

Following the viral success of its initial colorways, the New Balance 1906L is back to dominate the “loafer-sneaker” conversation with a striking new “Concord” edition. Drenched in a rich, saturated blue-purple, this latest iteration discards the safe neutrals of previous releases for a high-impact monochromatic look that demands attention. By merging the refined silhouette of a traditional loafer with the high-performance heritage of the 1906R, New Balance continues to define the cutting edge of contemporary footwear.

The “Concord” 1906L features a sophisticated mix of textures, layering glossy synthetic leather overlays atop a breathable technical mesh base—all finished in a singular, deep purple tone. Despite its dressier upper, the shoe remains a performance powerhouse at its core. It sits atop the signature 1906 sole unit, equipped with N-ergy cushioning and ABZORB SBS technology in the heel, ensuring that the avant-garde aesthetic is matched by all-day comfort.

This “Concord” release represents a strategic move toward the “maximalist” side of the loafer-core trend. As fashion moves toward bold, tonal palettes, this all-blue hybrid serves as the perfect bridge between experimental streetwear and modern smart-casual attire. Whether paired with tailored trousers or relaxed denim, the 1906L “Concord” is a testament to New Balance’s ability to innovate within the intersection of sport and luxury.
