The nascent New Balance 1890 is a case study in the Boston brand’s approach to offshoots and spinoffs; even before the lifestyle build gets its lugs set under it, we’re already seeing a parallel lane carved out for it. No silhouette has seen its purpose reformatted and reimagined more than the 1906, spread into formalwear, distressed aesthetics, and everything in between as it’s served as the face of the “retro runner” movement within NB’s universe.

Though going through fits and spurts in the catalog, the New Balance 1906U is a crucial part of that, a. more layered, utility-minded version of the steadfast model. Evidently, 2026 will see more from it, as a new navy/off-white/grey scheme comes to light. Though the combo of navy and grey is well-trod for the brand, this colorway utilizes the additional paneling to its benefit with winding stripes of white between to create some notable visual contrast.

The New Balance 1906U is still pending via New Balance official channels, but is already populating retailers here and there. Based on that, we can confirm that a $160 retail price is in play as this pair gets a wide launch.
