New Balance 1890A “Black Leather” Design
Black thread follows the raised ridge at the front of the toe, and a tiny embroidered “N” sits flush against the leather there. The material has a slight sheen, which makes the seams and layered panels easier to pick out on the all black finish. Matching laces sit over a leather tongue, and padded mesh lines the collar. Within the sweeping overlays, which carry shallow grooves, you’ll find stretched oval panels. Logos are kept understated. Small NB badges appear on the tongue and the heel, and there is no big logo on the side. The chunky sole keeps the same black finish, including the exposed cushioning segments and the deeply grooved outsole.
What Makes the New Balance 1890A “Black Leather” Look Like a Dress Shoe?
The stitched moc toe and the short row of laces do most of the work. Black leather with a slight sheen keeps the look clean, while the curved side panels and segmented sole stay true to a running shoe.
