FAQs
What is the main benefit of the New Balance 1906X trainers?
The main benefit is the combination of Y2K-inspired retro style with advanced cushioning and shock absorption technologies like ACTEVA LITE and N-ergy for comfortable everyday wear.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running heritage, the 1906X are primarily designed for casual wear and light training due to their focus on style and comfort over high-performance athletic features.
What does 'Y2K aesthetic' mean in this context?
The Y2K aesthetic refers to the fashion trends popular around the year 2000, characterized by futuristic designs, bold colours, and specific silhouettes, which the 1906X trainers emulate with their design elements.
How should I clean the mesh and synthetic overlays?
Clean the mesh and synthetic overlays gently with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners.
Can men and women wear these trainers?
Yes, the New Balance 1906X trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults of any gender.
What is the role of the ABZORB SBS pods?
The segmented ABZORB SBS pods located in the heel provide enhanced shock absorption and stability, contributing to overall comfort and support.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from open-holed mesh for breathability, combined with curvilinear synthetic overlays for structure and support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces. Break-in period may be required for initial wear.
Discomfort during walking
Verify the fit and ensure the laces are adequately tied. Allow for a break-in period. If discomfort persists, the shoe's specific support structure might not suit your foot type.
Fading colour
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean using recommended methods and products suitable for nylon and synthetic materials.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear
Clean gently with a soft brush. Avoid catching the mesh on rough surfaces. Inspect regularly for any small tears that could worsen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The New Balance 1906X trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for a proper fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult use. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, from jeans and shorts to athleisure wear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the open-holed mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can damage the materials.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can degrade the materials and affect the shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape when not in use.
- Material Considerations: The nylon and synthetic materials are durable but should be protected from excessive moisture and harsh chemicals.
