New Balance Has a Wild New Loafer on the Way

New Balance is trying to take the internet (and the streets) by storm once again with another loafer-sneaker mash-up, as seen in this 1890 silhouette, shown here.

The unreleased New Balance 1890, which was previewed at the 2025 Paris Fashion Week, features a Wallabee-style upper. This initial colorway shared by @le.syndrome on Instagram sports a pale yellow color scheme on the leather upper combined with faux snakeskin print overlay panels throughout the sides and tongue area. The name of the model is also printed on the insoles, with the number 1890 appearing underneath the New Balance logo. Wrapping up the look for this colorway is an all-black Abzorb midsole.

There are currently no release details available for the New Balance 1890, but expect more info to arrive in the coming months.
