Although the New Balance 1906L has been available for only a short time, it has undoubtedly made a significant impact. With various iterations available since its inception, the sneaker-loafer hybrid from the brand has undoubtedly set the bar for the trend. One of the first brands to adopt this trend in recent seasons, New Balance is continuing its journey of making this divisive shoe into your next must-have sneaker. In its latest attempt, the sports brand has partnered with GANNI, the Copenhagen-born fashion house renowned for its unapologetic approach to style, for a new iteration of the sneaker-loafer. By combining New Balance’s athletic approach with GANNI’s distinctive design, the 1906L returns with a revitalized look and fresh energy.
New Balance and GANNI take on this year’s divisive footwear trend
Featuring the classic structure of a loafer with New Balance’s technical runner details, the 1906L continues to make a statement. In this iteration, the sneaker-loafer features GANNI’s snake skin print on the upper with a bold color combination of yellow, black, and grey. Placed onto a noticeable rubber sole, the design continues with a classic loafer strap that includes GANNI’s metal butterfly logo and a metal New Balance logo. A rebellious and fashion-forward take on the New Balance 1906L, this collaboration with GANNI brings a fresh spin to this contemporary shoe. The GANNI x New Balance 1906L is available for purchase now via GANNI’s webstore and will be released globally via New Balance’s website on September 30 for a retail price of $190. While it’s challenging to make this sneaker-loafer design even bolder and more impactful, this GANNI collaboration proves that it’s always possible to push the limits even further.
