The 9060 represents a reinterpretation of familiar 99X elements with a visionary sensibility inspired by the visibly technological, proudly futuristic aesthetic of the Y2K era. These New Balance sneakers feature sway bars taken from the 990, which have been expanded and utilized throughout the upper to impart a sense of visible motion. Wavy lines and scaled proportions on the sculpted midsole place an exaggerated emphasis on the ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms. The ABZORB midsole absorbs impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance. It has a dual-density midsole with ABZORB and SBS cushioning. The tongue logo is inspired by the original 991 laces. It also features a translucent CR device on the heel and a diamond pattern on the sole inspired by the classic 860 design. It is made of pigskin and mesh.
