When it comes to footwear, loafers and sneakers never fail us — and that’s why the formula for New Balance’s 1906L works so well. It’s the DNA of the 1906 running sneaker, reimagined as a slip-on shoe. While sportswear mixed with tailoring is nothing new, NB have done something quite unique here: taking the 1906’s features and technology and moulding them into a classic penny loafer. Expect the open-holed mesh upper, curvilinear synthetic overlays, and the 860v2 sole unit — complete with segmented ABZORB SBS pods at the heel. But this time, in a loafer silhouette.
