New Balance isn’t here to play it safe. The 1906L loafer was a curveball when it first dropped, but guess what? It sold out fast and had sneakerheads talking. Now, the "Rich Oak" edition is here, swapping sporty mesh for buttery brown suede and stepping into a whole new lane.

This isn’t your granddad’s penny loafer. The 1906L Rich Oak keeps the DNA of the classic 1906R runner, but the all-suede upper and black rubber sole bring a more polished, grown-man feel. It’s sneaker comfort disguised as a luxury staple, the best of both worlds.

That warm-toned suede isn’t just for looks, it gives this shoe a premium edge. From the overlays to the tongue, the textured finish levels up the loafer aesthetic, while the subtle stitching around the collar adds a touch of high-fashion flair.

With the N-ergy midsole tech keeping the ride smooth, the 1906L branding stamped on the side, and that signature New Balance wordmark at the heel. It’s still a performance shoe at heart, just dressed up for a different occasion.

When the 1906L first dropped, it had social media in a chokehold — half the crowd loved them and the other half swore they’d never wear them. But after selling out quickly, it proved one thing: New Balance is here to create trends, not follow them.

The 9060 showed us that New Balance isn’t afraid to push boundaries, and the 1906L loafer is just more proof. With this "Rich Oak" edition and an upcoming black suede colorway, New Balance is clearly doubling down on this hybrid lane.
