FAQs
What is the 'Protection Pack' concept?
The 'Protection Pack' concept refers to a series of New Balance sneakers featuring a deconstructed aesthetic, characterized by intentionally 'worn' or frayed edges on the overlays, giving them a unique, unfinished look.
Are these shoes good for running?
While the ABZORB and N-ergy technologies offer good cushioning and support, the 1906D Protection Pack is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For dedicated running, consider New Balance models specifically engineered for performance running.
What materials are used in the New Balance 1906D?
The shoe features a breathable mesh upper with synthetic leather overlays that have a worn-edge design. It also incorporates ABZORB cushioning and an N-ergy outsole with Stability Web.
How do I maintain the 'worn' look?
The 'worn' aesthetic is part of the design. Avoid over-cleaning or trying to 'fix' the edges, as this may alter the intended look. Gentle cleaning with a soft brush or damp cloth is recommended.
What is the release date and original retail price?
The New Balance 1906D Protection Pack Silver Metallic was released on November 22, 2023, with a retail price of $180.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. While the outsole provides good traction, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces is not recommended for maintaining the shoe's condition.
What does 'Silver Metallic' refer to?
'Silver Metallic' refers to the primary colorway and finish of the sneaker, incorporating silver tones and potentially metallic accents within its design.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you are wearing the type of socks you typically would with sneakers. If still uncomfortable, consider using insoles for a more customized fit or exploring different lacing techniques.
Minor scuffs on the 'worn' edges
The 'worn' aesthetic is intentional. Minor variations are part of the design. For significant damage, consult professional shoe repair services.
Reduced cushioning over time
The cushioning technology is designed for longevity, but performance can decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing insoles or rotating with other footwear to extend the life of the cushioning.

Care:
