New Balance is heading into early summer with an impressive new loafer, consolidating the brand’s position at the forefront of street-ready style. The soon-to-be-released New Balance 1906L Loafer takes shoe design in an interesting new direction, juxtaposing elements of formal attire with the classic sneaker.

Taking its visual cue from the classic penny loafer and introducing a contemporary twist, the New Balance 1906L Loafer presents a striking silhouette through its complementary features. These include an open-holed mesh upper that enhances breathability and a series of curvilinear overlays that enhance its form.

Foot support is robust, thanks to the 860v2 sole unit, which features a selection of segmented ABZORB SBS pods at the heel to further bolster and support the wearer. The result is a high commitment to performance, with the New Balance 1906L Loafer well suited to everyday wear on commutes and weekend breaks.

Additional shock and absorption are delivered through the N-ergy outsole, while the lightweight suede increases airflow in hot weather conditions. Likewise, the New Balance 1906L Loafer’s slip-on design lends it to more casual wear, further refining its versatility.

Presented in a neutral color combination of rain cloud and slate gray, the New Balance 1906L Loafer’s versatility extends to its broad compatibility with various outfits. It’s another eye-catching release from one of America’s most beloved sneaker brands that will match most contemporary lifestyles.
