FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for athletic activities like running?
The New Balance 1906AA sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, focusing on style and everyday comfort. While they offer good support for walking, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I best clean the distressed leather?
For distressed leather, it's recommended to use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, followed by a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. After cleaning, apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
What does 'Refined Future' series mean?
The 'Refined Future' series from New Balance takes archival sneaker models and reimagines them with a contemporary, deconstructed aesthetic. This often involves rugged deconstruction, distressed finishes, and modern material pairings to create a futuristic yet retro-inspired look.
Is the N Lock system purely aesthetic?
No, the N Lock system is functional as well as aesthetic. By integrating the laces through the side 'N' logo, it helps to secure the midfoot, providing an enhanced and customizable lockdown fit in addition to being a distinctive design element.
Are these sneakers true to size?
New Balance sizing is generally consistent. It is recommended to select your usual sneaker size. If you are between sizes or prefer a specific fit, consulting a New Balance size chart or trying them on can be helpful. This specific model is a UK size 10.5.
What materials are used in the New Balance 1906AA?
The New Balance 1906AA sneakers feature synthetic mesh uppers for breathability and distressed leather overlays for durability and style. The sole is made from durable rubber for traction.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lacing system, paying particular attention to how the laces are threaded through the N Lock. Ensure even tension across the foot for optimal comfort and security.
Distressed leather appears dull or dirty
Gently clean the leather using a dedicated leather cleaner. Follow up with a leather conditioner to moisturize and protect the material. For minor scuffs, a leather balm can often help.
Slight creasing in the toe box after wear
Creasing is a natural occurrence with wear, especially on leather and synthetic uppers. To minimize this, use shoe trees when storing the sneakers and avoid overly tight lacing that can put excessive stress on the material.

Care
To keep your New Balance 1906AA sneakers in excellent condition:
- Cleaning Mesh: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the synthetic mesh areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Cleaning Leather Overlays: For the distressed leather, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Wipe gently to remove dirt and restore moisture.
- Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light.
- Water Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and synthetic materials to offer an extra layer of protection against the elements.
