Update: The highly anticipated collaboration between The Basement and New Balance is finally here.

While there has been no official announcement from either brand, Up There has already launched raffles for both pairs, with a price tag of $182 USD each. Mark your calendars for August 21 at 8pm EDT and stay tuned for more updates on this exciting release.
Original Story: The Basement, a London-based community platform, is teaming up once again with New Balance for a new and exciting project. After the success of their previous collaborations on the 2002R model, the two brands are now setting their sights on the 1906R. This time, they’re adding a metallic touch to the classic silhouette.
Their partnership began in 2022 with the release of the “Earth Brown” colorway, which sold out instantly. This was followed by two equally popular versions in “Moss Green” and “Stone Grey.” In early 2023, they also dropped an exclusive “Dark Slate” edition for friends and family. Now, they’re taking on the 1906R for the first time.
The Basement’s take on the 1906R features a sleek black base with contrasting grey netting. Angular silver panels add a futuristic touch, while the New Balance logos and “BSMT” branding on the forefoot are in a striking lilac hue. The metallic theme continues with mirrored heel cups and co-branded motifs on the rear, pull tabs, and tongue badges. The uppers are completed with adjustable lace toggles and sit atop traditional 1906R soles with two-toned accents.
Be the first to get a glimpse of The Basement’s latest New Balance collaboration and stay tuned for more release information. This is one drop you won’t want to miss.
