New Balance Prepares a Utilitarian Navy and Grey 1906U
The complex retro runner surfaces in a versatile new colorway.

Release Date: Spring, 2026

New Balance is reportedly gearing up to expand its technical footwear lineup with a new Navy, Grey, and Off-White iteration of the 1906U.
The upcoming New Balance 1906U leans heavily into its utilitarian design language. Conceived as a more robust and functional variation of the standard 1906, suggested imagery shows the model featuring a dense interplay of outdoor-inspired layers. The sneaker is rumored to utilize a deep navy blue base, heavily contrasted by complex grey and off-white paneling.
Additionally, striking wavy white stripes reportedly run across the upper, providing a contemporary graphic dynamic. While the performance DNA of the original retro runner remains intact, these intricate additions firmly position the forthcoming drop within a modern lifestyle space.
The New Balance 1906U “Navy/Grey” is expected to arrive later in 2026 via New Balance and select retailers.
