New Balance 1906R Reveals an Aquatic “Green/Astral Purple” Colorway

Despite the fact that the brand has attained its recent triumph through the reinvigoration of early 2000s-era joggers, the New Balance 1906R as a style may be their most complete adoption of that fad.

Boosted further by Aimé Leon Dore, size? and CDG collaborations in 2023, the shoe is once again gearing up for a substantial year in 2024. With several additional significant partnerships on the horizon, the GR “Green/Astral Purple” 1906R introduces some easily accessible excitement to the upcoming schedule.

Shifting away decisively from the muted hues of standard NB releases, this pair is as bright as they come. A vibrant green coats the leather overlays and the nylon laces in the side “N” emblem. Following that, the rear cage opts for the “Astral Purple,” while “Watercress” blue blends with pink in the outsole for a final burst of color.

Indeed, that pinkish tint plays a more significant part than the named teal, coloring the sock liner and certain sections of branding as it adds warmth to the otherwise cool color scheme being showcased here. Nevertheless, this shoe traverses a quarter of the color spectrum on its way to forming a lively standout piece.

Taking a broader view, the resemblance may not be an exact match, but there is no denying that this general release version is shaped in the same mold as the radiant pairs in the Action Bronson New Balance 1960R series, especially the “Rosewater” color scheme.

As we eagerly anticipate further details on the long-awaited, frequently teased collection, this “Green/Astral Purple” pair offers an opportunity to stay ahead of what is bound to be a competitive launch.

While we cannot provide a specific date, this pair of New Balance 1906R’s will soon be available on the New Balance app and website. Expect a price tag of $155 when they arrive.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
