New Balance 1906L US 8

The juxtaposition of sneakers and more formal attire isn’t a new idea, but it’s never been done quite like this. The new 1906 Loafer takes the silhouette’s signature features – the open holed mesh upper, the curvilinear synthetic overlays, and the 860v2 sole unit, featuring segmented ABZORB SBS pods at the heel – and reimagines them in the shape of a classic penny loafer. This design doesn’t just blur the lines between high-performance heritage and cutting-edge fashion; it erases the distinction altogether. These shoes are practically new, worn a handful of times outdoors. Unfortunately, they were a little too big for me. The insoles are brand new since I used my orthotics when wearing them. They are a size 8 in US women's and a 6.5 in US men's. Check photos for wear, but they look new, and I am sad to have to have to part with them.
