About this piece
The New Balance 1906 Loafer reimagines the 2000s running shoe design as a slip-on, loafer-inspired silhouette. This model removes the original lacing system, offering a unique design suitable for various settings. - Features an open mesh upper with curvilinear synthetic overlays and leather elements. - Includes a single hook-and-loop strap across the instep for an adjustable closure. - Incorporates a penny strap detail for a classic loafer aesthetic. - The sole unit utilizes ABZORB and N ERGY technologies, with segmented ABZORB SBS pods at the heel for shock absorption and stability. - Designed with a low-profile slip-on construction.
