New Balance and Teddy Santis’ partnerships represent some of the most coveted in the world of sneakers, not only through his Creative Directorship of the Made in US line, but also through his Queens-based brand, Aimé Leon Dore. Though the focus has often been on New Balance’s Made in US line, the creative has also shifted his attention to the more technical sneaker offerings from New Balance.

Following on from the 860v2, the two reunite to bring another technical runner under the spotlight, the 1906r, with the result as tasteful and elevated as we’ve come to expect from New Balance and Aimé Leon Dore. The sneaker retains all the signature features lending to its technical aesthetic, only its reworked with off white mesh and green and silver overlays to nod to Santis’ penchant for elevated colourways.
