After the initial successful launch of the Action Bronson x New Balance 990v6, the multi-talented American rapper-chef is set to release another collaboration with the Boston brand – putting his own twist on the ever-popular 1906r. Action Bronson has been posting teasers of the 1906r pack, consisting of 3 colorways named the ‘Medusa Azul’, ‘Scorpius’, and ‘Rosewater’. Each colorway of the sneaker is vastly different from the others, using contrasting color palettes on each pair.
With the Action Bronson 990v6 ranking in the top 10 sneakers of 2023, we have high hopes that the 1906r will stand among the best sneakers to release this year.
