U1906LNT in Black with Black Cement from New Balance.

 

The juxtaposition of sneakers and more formal attire isn’t a new idea, but it’s never been done quite like this. The new 1906 Loafer takes the silhouette’s signature features – the open holed mesh upper, the curvilinear synthetic overlays, and the 860v2 sole unit, featuring segmented ABZORB SBS pods at the heel – and reimagines them in the shape of a classic penny loafer. This design doesn’t just blur the lines between high-performance heritage and cutting-edge fashion; it erases the distinction altogether.
