FAQs
What is the primary material of the New Balance 9060 Eclipse?
The primary materials are black mesh for the base and dark navy blue suede for the overlays.
What technology is used in the midsole?
The midsole features layers of ABZORB and SBS cushioning for enhanced comfort and stability.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains, being careful not to saturate the material.
What is the design inspiration for the 9060 Eclipse?
It reinterprets elements from the iconic 99X models with a Y2K aesthetic and contrasting colorway.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
While it features advanced cushioning, the 9060 Eclipse is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, not for rigorous athletic training.
What does the 'Eclipse' in the name refer to?
The 'Eclipse' likely refers to the dark, contrasting colorway, particularly the deep navy blue suede elements against the black mesh.
What sizes are available for this model?
This specific guide entry refers to a UK size 7, but the 9060 series is available in a range of adult sizes.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth, following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Mesh material is discolored
Gently wipe the mesh with a cloth slightly dampened with water. Avoid using soaps or detergents directly on the mesh, as this can cause discoloration or damage.
Laces are worn or dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.
General scuff marks on midsole
Use a damp cloth to wipe away minor scuffs. For more persistent marks, a melamine foam eraser (like a Magic Eraser, used very gently) can be effective on non-porous midsole materials.
