Jaden Smith made a bold style statement at the 2025 Met Gala, and sneaker fans were quick to notice his shoes — an unreleased version of the New Balance 1906L in black croc patent leather.
The shoes matched perfectly with his black tuxedo, giving his outfit a sleek and stylish finish. These 1906Ls featured shiny black croc-textured leather all over the upper, giving the classic sneaker a fancy, dress shoe feel. They also had a black TPU heel counter and black rubber sole, completing the all-black look.
Some people noticed the pair looked similar to a previous JUNYA WATANABE MAN collaboration, which also used shiny patent leather. However, the pair Jaden wore hasn’t been seen before and hasn’t been confirmed for release.
Right now, there’s no official info on whether these will hit stores, but Jaden’s choice shows how fashion and sneakers keep blending together — especially with the growing sneaker-loafer trend. Stay tuned for more updates if New Balance decides to drop this stylish pair.
