New Balance 1906A "Inkwell" Pairs Reflective Purple With Aged Tech Aesthetic

The New Balance 1906A has quickly emerged as one of the most striking offshoots of the1906 linage, standing apart with its deconstructed industrial aesthetic. While previous releases have kept the color palette relatively neutral, allowing the model’s hardware and layered design to take center stage, the newly surfaced 1906A "Inkwell" shifts gears with a bolder, more experimental execution.

This latest iteration blends reflective purple accents with deep burgundy and royal blue hits on the heel, injecting a newfound vibrancy into the typically muted silhouette. Beyond those statement colors, the rest of the build remains neutral, with a white mesh base, dark grey overlays, and a faux-aged sole that balances the overall look. The result is a fusion of modern technical design and retro-inspired detailing, maintaining the 1906A’s rugged, high-tech appeal while adding a fresh layer of contrast.

With the New Balance 1906A "Inkwell" already beginning to appear at select retailers, a wider global release through New Balance is likely on the way.
