Step Into The New Yr With New Steadiness’s Lunar Yr Footwear Assortment

New Balance is reigning in the Lunar New Year with a festive footwear collection which includes new iterations of the innovatively designed WRPD RUNNER, rugged-aesthetic 610, and all-new 1906N sneakers reflecting New Balance’s craftsmanship while enabling wearers to stride stylishly into the new year. The celebratory collection is inspired by the most auspicious of zodiac signs, and encourages unity in the community with well wishes of luck and prosperity.

Highlighted in the series is an all-new 1906N silhouette. Not to be mistaken for other 1906 models such as the popular 1906R, the 1906N incorporates new tech-running-inspired upper featuring rip-stop grid mesh, new woven accents, glossy synthetic overlays, and a TPU heel cage. Offering proven performance in a charming form factor are ACTEVA LITE midsoles paired with ABZORB SBS heel cushioning and N-energy outsoles. The 1906N pairs are currently available in subtle “Shell Pink” and “Sea Salt” colourways which cater to individuals of all ages within the family.

“In Eastern culture, 2024 is recognized as the ‘Year of the Wood Dragon‘, symbolizing growth, vitality and cohesive energy,” writes New Balance. “Echoing this significance, the New Balance Lunar New Year collection embodies the belief that, similar to interconnected roots nurturing a tree, the act of reunion strengthens individuals and communities, serving as a wellspring of hope and energy for embarking on a promising journey into the new year.”

Other offerings include the rugged New Balance 610 in “Green” and “Navy” as well as a sleek Lunar New Year WRPD Runner in all-black exteriors. Found in a fluid form factor, the WRPD sneakers feature rip-stop grid uppers with matte nubuck overlays. With red, blue, yellow, green, black, white and grey hues good for Feng Shui this year, New Balance has you covered no matter which silhouette you choose in the collection.

The New Balance Lunar New Year Footwear Collection is now available online and at New Balance locations. Prices range from HK$1,099 for the limited-edition New Balance 1906N and Lunar New Year WPRD Runner to HK$899 for the 610T. Look for the Lunar New Year apparel to launch later this month.
