A dash of light grey suede hits the tongue (because it wouldn’t be NB without a bit of grey), and down below, both colourways sit on top of creamy Abzorb midsoles, which are then lined with N-Ergy rubber outsoles for additional comfort and grip.

Chinese New Year is a pretty big deal in the sneakerverse, and with 2024 being the Year of the Dragon, brands are really upping their game. Take Nike, for example. It’s already taken the wraps off of the Air Jordan 1 Low SE ‘Chinese New Year,’ which is en route to become one of the greatest Air Jordans, like, ever.
The New Balance 1906U ‘Lunar New Year’ collection is already available in Australia, and will release in other regions sometime in January or February at New Balance and select stockists for around £140 a pop.
