2024's final boss of sneaker hybrids has officially arrived. The New Balance U1906LAE aka the 'snoafer' has inarguably been one of the most exciting footwear moments of the year. As divisive as they are coveted, they are the brain child of New Balance footwear designers Charlotte Lee and Lani Perry, who decided they no longer wanted you to choose between sneakers or grown up shoes: thus a New Balance 1906 had a baby with a penny loafer. You'll find plenty of metallic from the silver mesh underlays to the overlay panels, rounded out with a classic cream sole. Familiar New Balance 1906 tooling is afoot, equipped with Nergy shock absorption outsoles so you can comfortably flex business casual all day long.
