FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the New Balance 9060 Trainers?

The design is inspired by elements from New Balance's iconic 99X series, reinterpreted with a Y2K-era aesthetic focused on visible technology and futuristic design cues.

What type of cushioning do these trainers feature?

They feature ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms integrated into a sculpted pod midsole for enhanced comfort and shock absorption.

How should I clean the suede material on the trainers?

Gently use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used cautiously, always testing on a small area first. Avoid soaking or using harsh chemicals.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

The 9060s are designed primarily for everyday casual wear and light athletic activities. They are not optimized for high-impact or specialized sports.

What does 'scaled-up proportions' refer to in the description?

This refers to the exaggerated, larger design elements in the shoe's midsole and overall silhouette, contributing to its modern and bold aesthetic.

Is the sizing standard for New Balance trainers?

Generally, New Balance sizing is consistent. However, due to the design and construction of the 9060, it's always recommended to check sizing guides or try them on if possible for the best fit.

What is the main material used for the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium suede, offering a combination of durability and style.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly and follow product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Fit feels too snug or too loose

Ensure you have the correct UK size. You can try adjusting the laces to find a more comfortable fit. Consider using insoles for minor adjustments. If the size is significantly wrong, consider exchanging for a different size.

Soles appear worn after moderate use

This could indicate heavy wear patterns or that the shoes are being used for activities beyond their intended casual purpose. For prolonged wear, rotate with other footwear.
