With the 1906L ‘Fire Cracker,’ New Balance is releasing another statement piece from its hybrid loafer series. The silhouette combines technical sneaker elements from the 1906R with a classic loafer design.
The colourway features a black, open-pored mesh base combined with striking shiny silver patent leather overlays. The name comes from the bright, dynamic colour stripes that are scattered across the shoe like fireworks, creating a strong contrast to the dark upper.
The 1906L also remains functional in terms of performance: the midsole comes from the 860v2 and is equipped with ABZORB SBS pods and N-ergy cushioning. This means that despite its loafer look, the shoe offers solid stability and comfort. The traditional loafer strap across the instep rounds off the model's style, while small lace details are a nod to its sneaker heritage.
