The 'Refined Future' series refers to a design approach that blends archival New Balance styles with modern, deconstructed elements and distressed finishes, giving the sneakers a unique, somewhat futuristic, and worn-in aesthetic from the start.
While New Balance is known for athletic footwear, the 1906A Refined Future is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. Its construction prioritizes style and everyday comfort rather than high-performance running or training.
The distressed leather overlays are durable, designed to withstand regular wear. The distressed look is intentional and part of the aesthetic, meaning minor scuffs or variations are part of its character. Proper care, as outlined in the care section, will help maintain the material's longevity.
The 'N' lock system is an integrated design feature that helps secure the laces in place once tightened. While it's not 'adjustable' in the sense of a buckle, it contributes to a more stable and secure lacing experience.
No, these sneakers are not waterproof. The synthetic mesh and leather materials offer some resistance to light splashes, but they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture.
For the grey color, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a mild soap and water solution applied with a soft cloth for both mesh and leather is recommended. Always air dry completely. For specific leather care, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner.
Ensure laces are properly threaded through all eyelets, including the 'N' lock system. Tighten laces evenly from the toe upwards before tying a secure knot. Consider experimenting with different lacing techniques for a tighter hold.
The 'Refined Future' design intentionally features distressed leather overlays, which contribute to its rugged aesthetic. For genuine dirt or scuffs, refer to the 'Care' section for specific cleaning instructions for leather and mesh materials.
New Balance sizing can vary slightly. Ensure you purchased your usual UK size 7.5. If issues persist, consider trying on a half size up or down if available, or consulting New Balance's official size guide for a more precise measurement.
The sneakers come with standard lace-up closure. To achieve the best fit, loosen all laces, put on the shoe, and then tighten from the bottom upwards, ensuring an even tension before tying. The 'N' lock system securely integrates the laces into the side logo; ensure laces pass through this mechanism correctly.
The grey color and unique "Refined Future" design make these sneakers versatile for pairing with a range of casual outfits, from jeans and cargo pants to more tailored streetwear looks. Their distinct aesthetic can elevate a simple ensemble.
