New Balance 1906U 'Arctic Grey' (M1906NL)

New Balance 1906U 'Arctic Grey' – M1906NL

The New Balance 1906U M1906NL in 'Arctic Grey' is the weather-ready, performance-protected edition of New Balance's iconic 1906 archival running series. A cool, icy Arctic Grey palette — pale, frost-toned and precise — wraps a Gore-Tex® waterproof upper that shields against rain, wind, and wet conditions without sacrificing the 1906's archival silhouette. The 1906U is the most technically advanced sub-model in the 1906 family: where the 1906R uses standard mesh and synthetic overlays and the 1906L is built on a women's last, the 1906U adds Gore-Tex® waterproof membrane technology for all-season, all-weather wearability. Arctic Grey is the natural choice for this model — cool, wintery, and built for the elements.
