New Balance managed to shake things up in 2021 by unveiling its limited-edition New Balance 2002R 'Protection Pack.' The brand followed up the success of that launch by giving other New Balance sneakers the 'Protection Pack' treatment, including the New Balance 1906D. The New Balance 1906D Protection Pack Silver Metallic features a breathable upper made of mesh and synthetic leather overlays that have worn edges. It sits on a lightweight ABZORB midsole with ABZORB SBS heel cushioning for added comfort and support. The N-ergy outsole is outfitted with a Stability Web to provide even more support in the arch area. Released on November 22, 2023, this sneaker retailed for $180. The sleek one-note finish highlights the resilient materials and innovative design for a fresh take on the 'Protection Pack' idea.
