The New Balance 1906 Loafer has been a popular loafer model in the sneaker world since its introduction, traditionally offering a fine balance between style and comfort. Now, the model is getting a makeover with black patent leather and crocodile accents.
What makes this loafer design so special is the combination of style and comfort. The 1906L is equipped with New Balance’s N-ERGY cushioning technology, which provides shock absorption and responsive support. This makes the shoe not only fashionable but also ideal for everyday wear.
At the 2025 Met Gala, we already spotted Jaden Smith in this design. The 1906L ‘Black Croc’ features glossy patent croc leather on New Balance’s classic loafer silhouette, effortlessly blending formal elegance with the comfort the brand is known for.
The design of this 1906L once again presents a clever reinterpretation of the iconic 1906R model. By transforming the upper into a loafer without laces, the shoe retains its sporty roots while gaining a chic appearance.
The New Balance Loafer 1906L ‘Black Croc’ is set to drop on November 12, 2025, at New Balance at selected retailers. Check out the release details about this silhouette in the Sneakerjagers release calendar.
