New Balance 1906A "Tech Explosion"
Release Date: January 22nd, 2025
The New Balance 1906A "Tech Explosion" is a bold reimagining of the classic 1906 model, blending retro design elements with modern innovation. This sneaker showcases a deconstructed aesthetic inspired by New Balance's archival tech sheets, delivering a dynamic and unconventional look.
The upper features a breathable white mesh base, layered with exaggerated synthetic and metallic leather overlays in shades of silver, gold, and Castlerock grey. Unique details such as dangling nylon ribbons, overhanging N-Lock straps, and asymmetrical paneling create an unfinished, experimental vibe. Pre-aged accents on the midsole add a vintage touch, tying together the sneaker's retro roots and modern creativity.
Performance-wise, the shoe retains New Balance’s signature cushioning technologies, including an ACTEVA LITE midsole and ABZORB SBS pods for superior comfort and stability. The Stability Web outsole ensures reliable grip and support, making it as functional as it is stylish.
