FAQs

What is ABZORB cushioning?

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary blend of foam cushioning and compression set, providing optimal shock absorption and resistance to compression. It helps protect the foot from impact and provides a softer landing.

What does SBS heel cushioning do?

SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) is a specific type of cushioning used in the heel. It offers a softer, more responsive feel than traditional EVA, contributing to enhanced comfort and impact protection in the heel area.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or intense workouts?

While providing excellent comfort and support for casual wear and walking, the New Balance 9060 are primarily lifestyle sneakers. For high-performance running or intense athletic training, dedicated athletic shoes with specialized features would be more appropriate.

How do I maintain the suede material?

To maintain the suede, avoid exposing it to excessive moisture. Use a suede brush to remove dirt and scuffs, and a suede protector spray can help guard against stains. For stubborn marks, a specific suede cleaner applied with care is recommended.

What does 'Y2K Aesthetic' mean for these shoes?

The Y2K Aesthetic refers to the design language and trends popular around the year 2000. For the 9060, this translates to a techy, futuristic, yet retro appearance with sculpted lines, robust sole units, and a blend of materials that reflect the era's focus on innovation and bold style.

What materials are the sneakers made from?

The New Balance 9060 sneakers feature a combination of breathable mesh for the upper and premium suede for the overlays, providing both comfort and durability.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or cleaner sparingly.

Laces frequently come undone.

Try using a double knot when tying your laces for enhanced security, especially during active use.

Sneakers feel less comfortable over time.

Check your insole condition; replacing worn insoles can often restore comfort. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for cushioning and fit.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.

Allow your sneakers to air out completely after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Wearing your New Balance 9060 sneakers is straightforward. Simply loosen the `lace up closure`, slide your foot in, and then tighten the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure the tongue is centered and there are no wrinkles in your socks for optimal comfort.

Compatibility

These sneakers are designed for adult males (and suitable for anyone who fits the sizing) and are highly compatible with casual and streetwear fashion. Their distinctive `Slate Grey` and `White` (or `Beige`/`Brown` depending on variant) color palette makes them versatile for pairing with a wide range of clothing colors and styles. They are best suited for everyday wear, light urban exploration, and casual social outings.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your 9060 sneakers:

  1. Suede Overlays: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and scuffs. For deeper stains, a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the suede.
  2. Mesh Upper: Clean the mesh with a soft cloth or brush dampened with mild soap and water. Gently scrub in circular motions. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue.
  3. Midsoles and Outsoles: Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For stubborn grime, a soft brush can be used.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage and shrinkage. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
