Mesh upper. Pigskin suede overlays. Dual-density midsole with ABZORB and SBS cushioning for comfort. Translucent CR device at the heel. Diamond outsole pattern inspired by classic 860 design. Tongue logo inspired by the original 991 lace jewel. Reflective N logo. The 9060 is a relatively new lifestyle sneaker from New Balance, inspired by the brand’s celebrated 99x series and its rich running heritage. A nod to tech-led aesthetics of the early 2000s, the silhouette’s retro-futuristic design incorporates elements from past NB models, including sway bars taken from the 990, here expanded and implemented throughout the upper to give a sense of visible motion. Wavy lines and scaled-up proportions then draw attention to the sculpted, pod midsole, which is outfitted with the brand’s familiar ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms to deliver optimal comfort.
