New Balance 1906 Loafer “Olive” Brings Back Tonal Refinement for Fall

The New Balance 1906 Loafer continues to carve its own lane in lifestyle footwear, bridging a formal loafer design with the technical build of one of the brand’s most trusted runners. For Fall 2025, the silhouette returns in a versatile “Olive” colorway that may be the easiest wear yet.

With its blend of open mesh, structured synthetics, and suede overlays, the 1906 Loafer already walks the line between tradition and innovation. This new edition leans further into subtlety, wrapping the upper in muted olive tones from tongue to heel. The layered mix of materials delivers depth, while the tonal approach keeps the look cohesive. Underfoot, the ABZORB and N-ERGY-loaded midsole provides all-day comfort, while a dark rubber outsole finishes the shoe with a sturdy contrast.

It’s a return to form after bolder makeups from earlier in the year, offering a more understated option for those intrigued by the silhouette’s offbeat charm. With its strapped forefoot and backless build, the 1906 Loafer still leans experimental, but this “Olive” edition grounds things in wearable, earthy color.

The New Balance 1906 Loafer “Olive” will be released between July and September via NewBalance.com and select stockists.
