FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the 9060 series?
The 9060 series is inspired by the refined style and innovation of New Balance's classic 99X models, reinterpreted with a Y2K-era aesthetic that emphasizes visible technology and futuristic design.
What makes the cushioning special in these trainers?
These trainers feature a sculpted pod midsole that integrates New Balance's ABZORB and SBS cushioning technologies, designed to provide superior shock absorption and comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The 9060s are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering excellent comfort for walking and daily activities. While they can be used for light training, they are not specialized running shoes.
How do I clean the green suede material?
For suede, use a soft brush or suede eraser for dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner applied sparingly with a damp cloth, followed by air drying, is recommended. Avoid excessive moisture.
What does 'Y2K-inspired' mean in the context of these shoes?
It refers to a design aesthetic popular around the year 2000, characterized by bold lines, visible technology, and a slightly futuristic or experimental look, which the 9060 incorporates into its silhouette and detailing.
Is the 'Green/White' colorway available in different materials?
While the primary material for this specific 9060 is suede, other variants might incorporate nylon or mesh. Always check the product description for the exact material composition of the pair you are considering.
What is the purpose of the 'sway bars'?
The expanded sway bars, adapted from the 990 model, are integrated into the upper to provide a visual sense of motion and offer structural support to the foot.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained.
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a damp cloth, then allow to air dry. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Fit feels too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Adjust lacing tightness for a more customized fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or width if available.
Cushioning feels stiff initially.
The ABZORB and SBS cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
