Although New Balance has become known for its retro designs that mimic running and performance shoes from the 2000s and earlier, the latest release takes users into the future with sleekness and innovation. While the New Balance 9060 returns in retro-inspired colorways, the design dons a futuristic and contemporary look that looks like it was pulled from the future. Apart from the two sleek retro futuristic shades, the 9060 dons signature features that have made the silhouette one to watch. Both iterations offer a striking design while still balancing New Balance’s traditional performance features. Typically considered New Balance’s standout design, the 9060 returns with a fresh look that emphasizes the statement silhouette.
New Balance’s 9060 returns with a major color refresh
Arriving in two new colorways, Green/Black and Silver/Black, the latest 9060 offerings dive into its sci-fi aesthetic with a few retro details to balance. Both colorways feature a black mesh and synthetic upper base and are differentiated with color accents. Each iteration dons gradient overlays that add color and a dynamic touch. However, the 9060 truly comes alive with the addition of the overpowering ABZORB midsole. Crafted in a dark hue, the midsole matches the sneaker’s colorway for a cohesive design. Performance details, such as oversized cushioning and statement side paneling, make the New Balance 9060 unsuitable for subtle moments. While New Balance has yet to announce an official release date or retail price, the sneaker is rumored to hit shelves in the fall season. Whether it’s the sleekness of the colorways or the statement midsole that catches the eye, the New Balance 9060 is made for high-impact dressers and performances.
