While we often strive for gold in life, let's not overlook the allure of silver. Just as striking and stylish, it lends a sparkly charm to even the most technical-inspired dad shoes. This brings us to the Basement and New Balance's latest creation, a pair of wonderfully silver dadcore sneakers. 

The Basement is the latest to takes on New Balance's star model of 2024, the New Balance 1906R sneaker. This year alone, the model has encountered the likes of 99GINGER, Action Bronson, and even Jack Harlow for team-ups. Basically, the list of excellent 1906R collaborations goes on, and it just added the Basement.

For the Basement's spin, we see the New Balance 1906R sneaker realized with gleaming silver touches, joined by greyed spongy mesh underlays. Finally, the New Balance shoe's semi-chunky sole receives a stroke of grey with dashes of creamy whites.

"BSMT" and simple B's appear throughout the sneaker via embossing techniques, reiterating the London-based platform's presence on the silver sneaker. Finally, the Basement's New Balance 1906R sneakers finish off with outdoorsy adjustable laces.

The verdict? Basement's got a serious Y2K-coded runner on its hands.

In addition to the silver iteration, Basement's New Balance 1906R sneakers have also appeared in a second black/grey colorway, which echoes the brand's previous 2002R effort.

Up There took a similar greyscale approach with its New Balance 1906 sneaker, which is just as sparkly as Basement's pairs. Now, it's time for the Basement's New Balances to catch the light and twinkle in the streets.

And when will the Basement's New Balances be ready for the streets, you may ask? Right now, it's unknown when the metallic sneakers will drop. But with these early looks making rounds, let's hope an official release announcement is near.
