FAQs

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

The design is primarily inspired by the Y2K era, reinterpreting familiar elements from classic 99X series models with a futuristic, visible tech aesthetic.

What cushioning technologies are used in the 9060?

The 9060 utilizes New Balance's ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms in its sculpted pod midsole.

How should I clean the suede material on these trainers?

Clean suede with a suede brush for surface dirt and a suede eraser for marks. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always follow product instructions. Avoid water saturation.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While they offer excellent comfort and support for daily activities and walking, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers with a fashion-forward aesthetic rather than for high-intensity athletic performance.

What does 'sway bars' refer to in the description?

Sway bars are design elements, taken from the 990 series and expanded in the 9060, that are integrated into the upper to provide a sense of visible motion and subtle support.

How do the proportions of the 9060 differ from other New Balance models?

The 9060 features scaled-up proportions and a sculpted pod midsole with wavy lines, placing an exaggerated emphasis on the cushioning platforms for a distinctive, modern silhouette.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While a suede protector spray can offer some resistance, suede is not ideal for heavy rain. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions to prevent damage and color transfer.

Troubleshooting

Suede color transfer

This can occur if the suede gets wet. Ensure the shoes are dry before wearing and consider using a suede protector spray. If transfer has occurred onto socks, wash the socks separately.

Laces becoming worn or dirty

Replace worn laces with new ones. Dirty laces can often be cleaned by hand washing with mild soap and water, then air drying.

Midsole appears compressed or less cushioned over time

This is a natural wear pattern. For minor loss of cushioning, ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris. For significant degradation, consider replacement as the cushioning materials have a finite lifespan.
