AURALEE and New Balance have revealed a closer look at their latest collaborative offering, two examples of the remastered 1906R, as first seen during the Tokyo-based brand’s FW23 fashion show.<\/p>\n
This collaboration succeeds its 2002R,\u00a0XC-72,\u00a0RC30, and\u00a0550\u00a0 collaborations of past seasons and presents itself in a calm understated fashion aligned with the brand’s apparel approach for the season. While three pairs in total are expected to be released, namely in white, beige and blue — the brands have currently only released close looks at the beige and blue pairs.<\/p>\n
With designs of the collaborative pair being led by Ryota Iwai, the AURALEE x New Balance 1906R features washed suede, nubuck leather and mesh, combined with a waxed outsole that provides a vintage feel. The beige example of the shoe is accented with a lime green liner and yellow sole, while the blue pair features a gray tone gradation. Each pair comes with two types of shoelaces and a specially designed shoe box.<\/p>\n
They’re expected to be released in Japan via AURALEE’s official website as well as New Balance’s site, with retail set at \u00a526,400 YEN or $176 USD. While a global release is hopeful, it has yet to be announced at the time of writing.<\/p>\n
