The New Balance 9060

The New Balance 9060 draws inspiration from the heritage of the 990 series and the high-speed running shoes of the 2000s, such as the 880v2. It was first released in a 'Mindful Grey' colorway on July 16, 2022, and made available globally in New Balance stores, including Australia and the US.

It can be worn in a variety of ways, such as with baggy jeans or cargo pants for a more casual look, gym sweatpants, or even trousers for a more formal ensemble.

The Anatomy of the New Balance 9060

The 9060 fits true to size and has a chunkier build compared to some other New Balance models, providing a comfortable fit without the need to size up. When lacing the sneaker, it is recommended to go for a wide lacing style without loops to achieve the best look - As with other New Balance sneakers, comfort is a priority in the design of the 9060.

The 9060's midsole is made of ABZORB, New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology. ABZORB is known for its shock absorption and responsiveness, making it a comfortable and supportive choice for everyday wear. Its outsole is made of solid rubber. This provides good traction and durability, making the shoe suitable for a variety of surfaces.

Behind the New Balance 9060

The New Balance 9060 is a very popular model of the classic brand. The kick is inspired by the NB 860 from the 2000s and combines the chunky style with modern features.

This type is regarded as a 'Dad' shoe, however it appeals to both men and women. A traditional 'Dad' shoe brings back 90s memories with hefty soles, an all-day style, and a design engineered for comfort.
