The New Balance 1890A “Cow Print” dresses NB’s moccasin-runner hybrid in cream suede and black-and-white fur, and it released September 16, 2026 for $190 through New Balance and select retailers. It’s the second animal-themed pair in the New Balance 1890A lineup, following the “Snakeskin” that launched the model in July.
New Balance has introduced a number of retro-inspired runners this decade, capitalizing on the wave of “Y2K” fashion that has swept the globe. Many of these models take direct inspiration or components from their archives, combined with new designs like this year’s introduction, the 1890. Even before the 1890 got its start early this year, we got an early look at a variant design in June 2025, when New Balance senior marketing manager Lee Stuart teased a moccasin mashup of the sneaker on Instagram around Paris Fashion Week. It combined a moc-toe style upper with performance running tooling. The 1890A finally arrived in a snakeskin look on July 3, and a moody “Dark Night” pair followed later that summer. This cow print edition continues the animal theme. This pair features a splotchy black and white pattern across the underlay’s faux fur panel. Cream nappy suede makes up the shoe’s overlays, while brown laces and a dark brown sole unit complete the look.
