The Basement x New Balance Link Up Once Again To Drop The 1906R "Day Chrome"

Following on from back-to-back sell-out collabs, The Basement are once again teaming up with New Balance to bring the signature BSMNT touch to the NB 1906R.

Earlier this month The Basement released the fourth issue of their magazine so to celebrate and give back to the community, they took over Good News Soho and gave away some early release pairs of this new collaborative release. With only 40 pairs available on a first come first served basis, many took to the streets and brought back the much-loved sneakerhead pastime of camping out. Since this early drop, we’ve been keeping a close eye out for a wider release of the BSMNT x NB 1906 pack, and it looks like a date has finally been confirmed.

If you’re not familiar with The Basement then you definitely need to check them out. Evolving from a Facebook group talking all things Supreme back in 2013 to now becoming a hub for all things fashion and streetwear, The Basement has evolved a lot over the last 10 years. This latest New Balance collab is the latest in a growing list of incredible collaborative efforts with some of the industries biggest brands.

Dropping in two colourways - “Day Chrome” and “Night Chrome” - the Basement x New Balance 1906Rs both stay true to the brand and offer two versatile options for any style. As the names suggest, both shoes consist of a chrome upper and feature a subtle debossed “BSMNT” detail, a detail which is close to the brand’s “If You Know You Know” roots. The collection also drops the usual lacing system of the 1906R, instead opting for a more tech focused toggle system which draws inspiration from hiking shoes. Lastly, if you’ve owned any of the prior BSMNT x New Balance releases you may be familiar with some of the small, trademark details of this collab, like swapping out the “N” for a “B” on the lace loops.

The first to drop of the pair is the 1906R “Day Chrome”. The chromatic upper on this pair is complimented by a silver mesh upper and matching off-white details on the laces and the iconic “N” logo, all of which sits upon a white sole. The “Night Chrome” however, offers a contrasting take, with black mesh panelling, dark laces and a black midsole, perfect for transitioning into those wet winter months.

If you’re wanting to get your hands on this release, you’re gonna have to act fast. Both pairs are set to release on The Basement’s website (www.bsmntstore.com) as early as next week. For full details on these releases, check out our product pages below:
