The New Balance 1906U "Butter" is Releasing This Summer

The return of the original 1906R silhouette, which emerged as a runner in the early 2010s, has enjoyed immense success, aligning perfectly with the prevailing trend of mesh-based runners that have become central in both fashion and sneaker culture. Building upon this momentum, New Balance has explored various iterations, such as the 1906D, which drew inspiration from the aesthetic of the beloved Protection Pack found in the 2002R model. The 1906U represents a continuation of this creative journey, introducing utilitarian elements while staying true to the core design principles of its predecessors.

For the Summer 2024 season, the silhouette will have a handful of tonal options, including a newly revealed "Triple Black" release and this elegant option in "Butter" yellow.

From toe to tail, the pair is colored in soft yellow hues. Though a statement in itself, the pair's character stems from the material construct, with ripstop mesh uppers, widely woven mesh tongues, and sturdy leather overlays ensuring that these are ready for those surprise summer showers. Underfoot, the pair is treated to a lightly-flecked finish to the outsole, perhaps indicating New Balance's newfound commitment to sustainable textile choices.

Enjoy an official look at the New Balance 1906U "Butter" below, and expect an official announcement on the pair's release soon.
