The NB 1906R “Lunar New Year” Comes with A Gradient Glow

New Balance is ringing in the Lunar New Year with moon inspired gradients across some of its most iconic models.

Following the debut of a "fade to black" New Balance 1000 created for the occasion, the brand is now lighting things up with the New Balance 1906R; a brighter, equally eye catching nod to the holiday.

While understated in design, the 1906R sets itself apart from typical general releases with a "dark to light" gradient effect across its base. The heel counter continues this fading motif in dark grey, while the overlays feature lighter tones accented by reflective details for added flair.

Forget the usual Lunar New Year kicks decked out with Zodiac animals; New Balance’s Spring 2025 collection opts for style that lasts longer than a holiday dinner. Both sneakers have been announced to lean into timeless, versatile aesthetics so far.

The official release date of the New Balance 1906R “Lunar New Year” is still under wraps. Stay tuned to The Sole Supplier for the latest sneaker news, exclusive drops, and everything you need to step up your sneaker game!
