On July 1st, New Balance is launching three fresh colorways of the popular 1906A, and this release is going fast. The ‘White & Mint Flash’, ‘Mint Flash’, and ‘Black & Dragon Berry’ take the retro runner silhouette to a new level. With color schemes that perfectly capture summer energy and style-conscious techwear influences, this is a drop you don’t want to miss. In this blog, you’ll read all about the design, fit, and release info of these new 1906As.
New Balance 1906A ‘White & Mint Flash’ refreshing and clean
This version is the lightest of the three, with a white base and mint green accents. The upper consists of breathable mesh, reinforced with synthetic overlays in glossy white and pastel green. The result is a summery runner that effortlessly pairs with light outfits, cargo pants, and cropped jeans.
The signature N-ergy cushioning in the sole provides comfortable shock absorption, while the ABZORB inserts offer stability for daily use. The light-reflective details on the toebox and heel give this sneaker a subtle tech edge.
New Balance 1906A ‘Mint Flash’ all-over mint with energy
The second variant goes for color. Mint green dominates the upper, with subtle silver accents and a mesh structure for breathability. This colorway stands out due to its tonal approach: from sole to upper, everything is carefully coordinated.
For lovers of statement sneakers, this is a perfect choice. The color is bright without being too bold, and pairs surprisingly well with black, off-white, or even denim. In terms of fit, this version matches previous 1906R models but expect a slightly longer fit: the shoe generally runs half a size larger. For the best fit, we therefore recommend choosing half a size smaller than your standard EU size.
New Balance 1906A ‘Black & Dragon Berry’ dark with a twist
The most striking of the three is the ‘Black & Dragon Berry’. With a black base, glossy overlays, and accents in bright pink/purple (Dragon Berry), this sneaker combines classic tech runner vibes with playful contrasts.
Perfect for those who wear black but want something extra. The contrasting color adds depth to the silhouette without being too much. Ideal paired with minimalist outfits or as a color accent in a dark look.
Size advice for the New Balance 1906A
All three colorways have the same fit and feel as previous 1906 models, but this drop runs on average half a size smaller than usual. Keep this in mind when ordering the New Balance!
