FAQs
Are the New Balance 9060 trainers good for running?
The 9060 trainers feature advanced cushioning like ABZORB and SBS, making them very comfortable for walking and everyday wear. However, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and streetwear shoes, not for high-impact, competitive running.
What does the '9060' signify in the product name?
The '9060' represents a new design interpretation within New Balance's iconic 99X series, aiming to innovate and evolve the range with contemporary aesthetics and enhanced cushioning technology.
How do I clean the blue and black colorway?
For the blue and black colorway, use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals to prevent color bleeding. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the primary benefit of the ABZORB midsole?
The ABZORB midsole is designed to absorb impact, providing a combination of cushioning and compression resistance. This helps reduce stress on your feet and joints during activity.
Can these trainers be worn by men and women?
Yes, the New Balance 9060 trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for adults of any gender.
What is the grip like on these trainers?
The trainers feature a diamond outsole pattern inspired by the classic 860 design, which provides reliable grip and traction on various urban surfaces.
How do the design elements from the 99X series contribute to the 9060?
The 9060 incorporates familiar elements like the Sway bar from the 990 and a tongue logo inspired by the 991's lace jewel, blending heritage with a modern, futuristic aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or a new break-in period. Try wearing them for a few more sessions or ensure they are completely dry.
Inconsistent fit or discomfort
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, try a different lacing technique or consider if the size is correct for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning over time
While ABZORB and SBS cushioning are durable, they can break down with extreme wear. For everyday use, this is unlikely for several years. Ensure the midsole is clean and free of debris that might affect feel.
