The New Balance 1954R “Tropical” Pack puts most of its color below the upper, but the two pairs get there in different ways. The white version stays light and layered, while the black pair uses a darker base against a much brighter sole.

White mesh covers the “Tropical White”, joined by off-white suede and leather overlays across the toe, midfoot, and heel. The upper is fairly restrained. Underneath, deep teal fades into mint before meeting translucent amber ABZORB pods, pale pink accents, and yellow along the outsole.

The “Tropical Black” uses black mesh, suede, tonal N logos, and glossy overlays, with a matching heel cage finishing the upper. Its sole is less blended and more blocked out, mixing yellow, burgundy, pink, aqua, and white across the cushioning and traction sections.

Open mesh, suede mudguards, N-Lock branding, embroidered 1954R details, sculpted heel support, and full-length ABZORB cushioning appear on both colorways.

The New Balance 1954R “Tropical” Pack releases September 1, 2026, through New Balance and select retailers. Each pair is priced at $190.
