Good!

With a style that fits the look of a performance sneaker, certain expectations follow. Good thing that New Balance 1906D sees these presumptions through. Beneath its sporty and robust facade is a foot-catering interior with unfaltering comfort even when the day is over. The combination of a spacious toebox and a tech that fastens the foot down ensures an ultimate on-foot experience. With its patched-up appearance (that’s ironically finely made), sneakerheads just couldn’t help but relate it to a “high-end, designer feel.”

New Balance 1906D reportedly takes on the Refine Future or Protection Pack (as most sneakerheads refer to it) style that is primarily witnessed on the New Balance Print Impact Tights Ladies profile. A fan expounded that Refine Future pertains to the “same ripped-up aesthetic” 2002R had. “It’s refreshing to see something familiar but on a new silhouette,” a sneakerhead stated.

New Balance 1906D promotes foot freedom

The majority of the reviewers went for the true-to-size course on this one. According to a vlogger, picking out the same size you wear in 2002R would yield a similar fit in 1906D. Another vlogger demonstrated that going for his actual size resulted in a “good amount of space” at the toes since 1906D runs big.

A half-size increment, on the other hand, has an outcome of “a little bit more space at the top.” A vlogger noted that the actual and half-size increase both provided enough amount of space with foot “scrunchability” and didn’t prompt any heel slippage issues. Therefore, choosing the best fit is more of a preference thing, the vlogger added. However, other reviewers still advised wide footers or space-hogging sneakerheads to size half up. The narrow footers took the hit of 1906D’s roominess, though! To achieve a snug fit, they had to jump down a half size.

Lots of cheers and kudos regarding its comfort bombarded this sneaker. The underfoot comfort could be credited to its Ortholite insole, which is characterized as “pretty flexible” and “feels nice on feet.” The sneakerheads also revealed that the midsole utilized on this sneaker is identical to the one used on 2002R - which has a “good balance of cushioning and softness” but still provides support and stability. Some affirmations are:

  • “These are amazing on feet.”
  • “Great comfort on these, really nice everyday shoe.”
  • “Incredibly comfortable shoes.”

Moreover, 1906D’s upper “feels very broken in” and “soft straight out of the box,” so no break-in period is requisite. The TPU around the heel area also extends “a lot of support and structure,” as per a wearer.

Level of quality and craftsmanship: 99999

The base of this sneaker is mesh, which is a plus for a sneakerhead mainly because it “will not crease up on you.” The overlay material, on the other hand, is a “very nice and soft hairy suede,” which is strategically placed to appear like the material has been “torn apart by hand.” The suede is also hailed for not having a “scratchy synthetic feel.”

When it comes to workmanship, the reviewers had nothing to complain about. “My pair was pretty flawless,” remarked a fan who didn’t come across any problem regarding stitching and glue stains.

New Balance 1906D doesn’t let the foot go away

A technical feature the sneakerheads loved in 1906D is its N-Lock Technology, where two secure reflective straps interlaced with the New Balance’s N logo. According to a sneakerhead, the straps tighten up the laces all the way to the base of the shoe, delivering “added midfoot security” and “a very nice locked-in feeling.”

Considerably high-end of its breed

For a $165 retail price, sneaker fans found 1906D to be a bit steep. Embracing the identical style as 2002R, as well as having an unchanged cushioning technology, 1906D’s price is expected to be pretty much the same as its predecessor. But in reality, 1906D is 16% more costly. On the other hand, when compared with the average price of New Balance running sneakers, the 1906D is 35% more expensive.

This sneaker is also adored for containing recycled materials in its upper, midsole, and outsole. Sneakerheads pointed out that the speckles seen on the kick’s outsole are due to the incorporated recycled content.
