Update: Earlier this year, we caught a first look at another project from The Basement and New Balance. As we near the project's debut, it has been revealed that not only has a grey and silver pair been assembled, but a black and silver colorway too. Neither The Basement nor New Balance have announced their forthcoming 1906R project, however, Up There has launched its two raffles for the kicks, pricing them at $182 USD each with a launch time of August 21 at 8pm EDT. Stay tuned for more info about the campaign and review our initial breakdown below for more info.

Original Story: London-based community platform The Basement is reuniting with New Balance for another stunner, setting a metallic touch on the 1906R model. The duo has previously dropped three collaborative 2002R colorways, igniting their partnership in 2022 with the alfresco "Earth Brown" version. The instant sell-out was followed by equally popular "Moss Green" and "Stone Grey" pairs, revealing an exclusive friends & family "Dark Slate" rendition in early 2023. ⁠

⁠
The Basement kicks off summertime by remodeling the New Balance 1906R for the first time, featuring a blacked-out base with contrasting grey netting. Angular silver panels line the uppers with lilac-hued New Balance logos and debossed "BSMT" forefoot branding. ⁠
⁠
Mirrored heel cups add futuristic appeal, while additional co-branded motifs appear on the rears, pull tabs, and tongue badges. Adjustable lace toggles complete the uppers, which are stacked atop traditional 1906R soles with two-toned accents. ⁠
