FAQs

What is the primary material of the New Balance 1906D Protection Pack?

The sneaker features a combination of leather and mesh, with distressed leather and suede overlays contributing to its unique appearance.

Is the NERGY technology beneficial for daily wear?

Yes, the NERGY cushioning provides shock absorption and responsiveness, making it suitable for all-day comfort during daily activities.

How do I clean the distressed leather and suede elements?

Use a soft brush for dust and dirt. For stains, a specialized leather cleaner applied with a clean cloth is recommended. Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals.

What does 'Protection Pack' signify in the product name?

The 'Protection Pack' typically refers to a design aesthetic that includes layered, often distressed, overlays, giving the shoe a rugged, well-worn appearance.

Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic performance?

These are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for casual wear and comfort. While they offer cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities like running.

What is the original release date and price?

The New Balance 1906D Protection Pack Black Leather was released on July 22nd, 2023, with an original retail price of $170.

How does the NLOCK lacing system work?

The NLOCK system is integrated into the shoe's design, working with the laces to provide a secure and customizable fit by distributing tension evenly across the midfoot.

Troubleshooting

Uneven Lacing Tension

Adjust the NLOCK lacing system, ensuring the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets and tightened gradually from the bottom up.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Verify lacing is not too tight.

Material scuffing or marking

The distressed nature of the materials is intentional. For minor scuffs, a suede brush may help blend the appearance. Avoid harsh cleaning agents that could further damage the finish.

Squeaking noise from sole

Occasionally, new soles can squeak. Try walking on different surfaces or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if accessible. Ensure no debris is trapped in the sole treads.
