Colorway: Silver Metallic/Black/Fire Cracker
SKU: U190663V
MSRP: $160 USD
Release Date: January 2026
Where to Buy: New Balance
Following the previous reveal of the 1906L in “Black/Angora,” New Balance is set to introduce a much more vibrant addition to its loafer lineup. Dubbed “Fire Cracker,” the upcoming iteration is a bold, high-energy reimagining, rendered in a “Silver Metallic/Black” base.
This variant pairs a traditional black open-holed mesh base with shimmering, high-gloss patent leather overlays. Its “Fire Cracker” moniker is brought to life through vibrant streaks of color that burst across the upper, creating a dynamic visual contrast against the sleek silver and deep black accents. Retaining the spirit of the 1906L line, the shoe features a classic loafer strap across the midfoot, seamlessly integrated into the sneaker’s complex, multi-layered quarter panels.
Beneath, the shoe retains the 860v2 sole unit, equipped with segmented ABZORB SBS pods at the heel and N-ergy cushioning for impact absorption, ensuring comfort despite its formal-inspired silhouette. The outsole’s grippy tread pattern reinforces its athletic roots, while subtle lace-inspired detailing across the upper nods to its sneaker heritage.
