The highly anticipated follow-up to Action Bronson's debut, double-feature collaboration with New Balance is finally here.
</br>
One of the more surprise hits of sneaker synergy to crop up last year was Action Bronson’s duo of New Balance 990v6s.
</br>
The partnership made perfect sense due to Bronson’s blue collar background and eccentric approach to life, that when paired with NB’s unmatched sneaker craftsmanship, instantly propelled the sixth generation 990 silhouette to cult status through two equally colourful renditions.
Since then, Action has appeared in numerous visual campaigns for New Balance and after a long road of Instagram teasers and influencer seeding, the first of three collaborative 1906r colourways designed by Dr. Baklava will finally see public release, dropping in tandem with a function-first roundup of apparel.
</br>
Already a popular shoe for New Balance in 2023, the company is doubling down on its commitment to the archival runner for the year ahead, with Action Bronson’s Rosewater 1906r helming the ship.
Action has stripped back a portion of the 1906r’s exoskeleton to project light mesh with translucent reflective detailing that's all complimented by a fuchsia heel cage and matching tongues, finished with custom tags and sunset orange midsoles.
</br>
According to Action, this colourway is one for the “true sneakerheads” and is inspired by women’s sport shoes of old.
The remaining "Scorpius" and "Medusa Azul" colourways will release at a later date. Action has also stated that the yellow-based Scorpius rendition will be the most limited of the pack.

The Action Bronson x New Balance 1906r "Rosewater" and accompanying apparel and accessories range will release via Specializinginlife.com on Friday, May 31st.
