New Balance kicked off the sneaker loafer craze with a collaboration, as Junya Watanabe revealed the hybrid silhouette early in 2024 during its Paris Fashion Week show. Later in the year, after New Balance had launched the 1906L on its own, the project would release as the first collaboration on the model to date. The Ganni x New Balance 1906L takes the viral sneaker loafer to another level through (faux) gold snakeskin and black patent leather. Black, gray and silver then form the remainder, which includes the glossy sheen of patent leather overlays. The Ganni x New Balance 1906L will releaseon Wednesday through Ganni’s website.
