New Balance has slowly been cooking up a ‘Protection Pack’ slate of colorways for the 1906D, applying jagged overlays to the retro runner. This week, a black edition surfaced in official images, coming soon.
The New Balance 1906 is finally available to the masses, providing yet another excellent retro-inspired runner for the Boston brand’s arsenal. Building on top of the 2002R’s midsole unit, the new silhouette pairs the brand’s excellent use of layering with a running aesthetic, allowing for any number of interesting color combinations. In recent months, we’ve seen a number of new 1906 colorways in the ‘Protection Pack’ style popularized by its predecessor, another of which has emerged this week. Covering the upper almost entirely in black, this new pair mixes in shades of medium grey to the shoe’s jagged layers, as well as some hints of cream for the ‘N’ logos and a light grey inner lining.
NEW BALANCE 1906D PROTECTION PACK ‘BLACK’ RELEASE INFORMATION
New Balance’s ‘Protection Pack’ style of the 1906D silhouette has not yet been announced for release, though we are hoping to see them launch sometime early in 2023. Seen here in official images, the ‘Black’ color scheme will be available from retailers like Aphrodite as well as directly from New Balance for $190.

UPDATE 1/6/23: CONCEPTS hosted the exclusive release of the New Balance 1906D ‘Protection Pack’ this week, releasing four initial colorways in their retail stores as well as their website. The black, turtledove, and white colorways have already sold out online, though the ‘Castlerock’ grey look is still available in select sizes for $170. However, pairs are still expected to drop via a global release and from NB’s own website in the coming weeks.
