The New Balance 9060 takes a leap into the future, all while holding to the roots that grounded its predecessors in the iconic 99X series. This model’s design is inspired by the Y2K era’s fascination with visible technology and futuristic vibes, reimagining traditional elements with a twist.

The 9060’s design features the integration of advanced cushioning technologies, ABZORB and SBS, encapsulated within a dual-density midsole. The expanded sway bars borrowed from the 990 model, alongside wavy lines and exaggerated proportions, contribute to a sense of visible motion and an exaggerated emphasis on the sneaker’s cushioning platforms.
The New Balance 9060 shoe seems to have a unique position within the New Balance catalog, with its limited availability and thoughtful nods to its heritage such as the tongue logo inspired by the original 991 lace jewel.
