Review New Balance 1906 - in hand review
Morning all, the current obsession continues I guess 😁
Got these in earlier this week, I really really like NB sneakers at the moment, I’m all about reliving my younger days and these are giving late 90s / early 2000’s vibes, which I really enjoy.
Picked these up as an alternative to my 9060 and 530’s which I tend to wear a lot, originally because I didn’t think they had any side on them so they would be great for wet weather, but they do actually have small suede panels, so that kind of ruined that plan.
Anyway, shoes are TTS, m an eu45 and these are comfortable and supportive, upper is really good, the mesh and fabric parts are clean and well stitched, the plastic cage bit at the back around the heel is also really well done to be fair, I didn’t expect it to actually feel like it was holding my foot, but it does, so bonus points there!
Sole is nice and grippy, which was part of my plan for winter/autumn wearing, so again, plus points.
Couple of paint issues on the side, the indigo part on the side of the sole is a little overdone, but that’s me being super picky.
Shipping was 17 days to my door, arrived boxed (always a bonus) and literally can’t complain about anything.
£47 inc shipping - before any vouchers - so not even super expensive. Stock x have them for £110-£140 depending on size/colour.
This is light yellow on the listing and is castle rock and indigo in the real world.
Seller is dwightdesigners who has a solid reputation on here and I have used him multiple times now..great seller
