FAQs

What makes the 'Protection Pack' unique?

The 'Protection Pack' series is characterized by its unique, deconstructed and distressed overlay design, giving the shoe a pre-worn, rugged aesthetic that is a signature feature.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature NERGY cushioning for comfort, they are primarily designed as lifestyle or casual wear sneakers. For dedicated running, a performance-focused running shoe is recommended.

How do I clean the distressed leather and suede?

Use a soft brush for loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner for the suede parts and a damp cloth or leather cleaner for the leather parts are recommended. Avoid soaking.

What is the material composition of the upper?

The upper is a combination of breathable mesh, durable leather, and suede overlays, providing both comfort and a rich textural appearance.

Does the distressed look mean the shoes are lower quality?

No, the distressed look is an intentional design element aimed at providing a unique, retro-inspired aesthetic. The quality of the materials and construction remains high.

What does 'NERGY' branding refer to?

NERGY is New Balance's cushioning technology, designed to provide energy return and shock absorption for enhanced comfort.

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.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

New Balance sizing can vary. Consult size charts, read user reviews, or try them on in-store if possible. Consider the width and intended sock thickness.

Distressed look is uneven

The distressed appearance is a design feature and intentional. Variations are part of the unique aesthetic of each pair.

Creasing on leather overlays

Some creasing is natural with leather over time. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Consider using shoe trees for storage.

Materials feel stiff initially

Leather and suede may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
