The 1906R, like its cousins the 2002R and the 860v2, is led by a sole unit featuring a combination of flexible ACTEVA LITE cushioning, shock absorbing N ergy, and segmented ABZORB SBS pods at the heel. This hi-tech approach is also reflected in the 1906R's upper design, which features open-holed mesh and a series of curvilinear synthetic overlays. This distinctive take on the era's design conventions offers a refined execution of high-performance heritage. Colour: Grey. Upper: Mesh/Synthetic. Lining: Other Materials. Outsole: Rubber. We thought the New Balance 1906 couldn’t possibly get any better, but this brand new “Grey” pair has proven us wrong. The classic running style is dressed in monochrome, whilst the chunky ABZORB midsole delivers shock-absorbing cushioning and compression beneath.
