Another Look at Ronnie Fieg s Kith x Nonnative x New Balance 997 | Style of the New Balance 1906R Protection Pack Grey
Inspired by the classic 1970s tennis shoes, the sneaker has a classic court silhouette embodied in a skate-ready design. The shoes also feature raised rubber toe caps that have become the rage among sneaker fans these days.
As an added feature, the sneaker’s suede Ollie patch not only enhances the shoe’s aesthetics but also has added durability, giving the shoe added capability to hold up to repeated foot scrapings.
Although the sneaker is purposely designed as a skating shoe, its timeless and clean silhouette appeals to the general sneaker-loving population. In addition, the N-durance rubber foxing tape keeps the shoe’s construction nicely put together as it attaches the sole to the upper while affording abrasion resistance.
Notable Features
Geared to take on the rough treatment it is put through as a skate shoe, the sneaker features premium suede and asymmetrical material selections. The dual construction of the upper further enhances the shoe’s strength.
The N-durance rubber outsole is made from the highly durable rubber compound and has the tried-and-tested herringbone tread pattern which ensures superior grip. The multi-layered raised rubber toe cap also adds to the sneaker’s durability.
The shoe has a vulcanized sole which may not provide as much protection and support as a cup sole, but is preferred by those looking for a good board feel, lighter shoe weight, and lesser bulk. Due to its vulcanized sole, the shoe is flexible and breaks in quickly.
History of the New Balance 1906R Protection Pack Grey
New Balance’s skate shoe brand, New Balance 327 Men S Black White Low Casual Athletic was launched in 2013. Young as it is, NB# is most definitely backed by a long and impressive company history, spanning more than a hundred years.
The New Balance 1906R Protection Pack Grey sneaker is a skate-specific adaptation of an original New Balance clay court tennis shoe that debuted in the 1970s. While the original relaxed shape is retained, the Pro Court 212 has an updated construction that meets the demands of modern everyday skating.
