New Balance 1906R “Grey/Black” — Black/Grey

A refined take on the modern-classic runner, the 1906R “Grey/Black” balances breathable mesh with sculpted overlays and subtle grey accents. Underfoot, ACTEVA LITE foam teams with ABZORB SBS pods and N-ergy for cushioned, stable comfort, while the Stability Web shank and TPU heel cage keep the ride secure for daily wear. The neutral palette slots easily into tailored denim, tech cargos, or minimalist athleisure, making this pair a year-round staple for rotation or collection.

Findings are recorded internally; any discrepancy triggers secondary review.
