New Balance 1906A Sneakers - Black & Dark Gray with Silver-Tone Accents

A black mesh base, glossy layered overlays, and silver-tone accents give these New Balance 1906A sneakers a detailed technical look. Extended panel edges and exposed-looking tabs add a deconstructed finish, while a sculpted dark sole and segmented gray heel pods emphasize the retro-running silhouette.

Everyday styling

For a weekend coffee stop or a casual evening meet-up, the silver-tone lines and layered tabs add detail without relying on bright color.
