FAQs
What is the primary material of the New Balance 9060 Eclipse?
The shoe features a combination of black mesh for breathability, overlaid with dark navy blue suede and leather accents.
What cushioning technology is used in the midsole?
The midsole utilizes dual-density cushioning with layers of ABZORB and SBS.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or cleaner is recommended. Avoid water on suede where possible.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
While it offers good cushioning and support for daily wear and walking, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, not for high-intensity athletic training.
What does the 'Eclipse' in the name refer to?
The 'Eclipse' likely refers to the dark, contrasting colorway that features black mesh and navy blue overlays, creating a distinct visual effect.
What is the origin of the design elements?
The design reinterprets elements from New Balance's iconic 99X models and incorporates details nodding to the 860 model on the outsole.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather and suede offer some protection, it is not recommended for heavy rain. Water can stain suede and damage leather if not properly cared for.
Troubleshooting

Mesh feels damp after cleaning
