FAQs
What is the primary design inspiration for the 9060 series?
The 9060 series draws inspiration from the Y2K era, reinterpreting classic 99X design elements with a focus on visible technology and futuristic aesthetics.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the trainers offer good cushioning (ABZORB and SBS), they are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with targeted support and performance features are recommended.
How do I clean the suede material on these trainers?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, applied with a damp cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does 'sway bars' refer to in the product description?
Sway bars are design elements taken from the 990 model, which are expanded in the 9060 to be visible throughout the upper, contributing to a sense of motion and aesthetic dynamism.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The suede material is not ideal for prolonged exposure to wet conditions. While they can handle light moisture, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the material and ensure comfort.
What is the difference between ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB is a New Balance technology that absorbs shock and provides a responsive feel. SBS (Strobel Board and Sole) refers to the cushioning system integrated into the sole construction, offering enhanced comfort and stability.
Are these trainers available in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 series is typically available in a range of colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for specific availability.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For wet stains, blot immediately and use a dedicated suede cleaner with a soft brush or cloth, following product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Laces wear out or fray
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and width. New Balance offers replacement laces, or any compatible athletic shoe laces can be used.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time
The cushioning materials naturally break down with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding excessive stress can help prolong their effectiveness. If significant degradation occurs, consider it a sign of natural wear and tear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Compatibility is broad; they pair well with various casual and athletic attire. For care, it is recommended to clean the suede upper with a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying it sparingly with a damp cloth. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or direct heat for drying, as this can damage the suede. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
