FAQs
What is the main design inspiration for the New Balance 9060?
The design is inspired by familiar elements from classic 99X series models, reinterpreted with a 'warped sensibility' and the visible tech aesthetic of the Y2K era.
What cushioning technologies are used in the 9060?
The 9060 utilizes ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms, known for their shock absorption and support.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning, the 9060 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, try a suede eraser. Avoid water and use mild soap solutions sparingly with a damp cloth for other parts of the shoe.
What makes the midsole design unique?
The midsole features a sculpted pod design with an exaggerated emphasis on the cushioning platforms, incorporating wavy lines and scaled-up proportions for a modern look.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Due to the suede material, it is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet conditions as it can damage the material and cause discoloration.
What size is UK 12 equivalent to in other sizing systems?
The UK 12 size generally corresponds to a US Men's 12.5 or an EU 46.5, but it's always best to consult a New Balance size chart for precise conversions.
Troubleshooting
Uneven wear on the sole
Ensure proper fit and gait. Regular cleaning and inspection can help identify issues early. If the issue persists, consider consulting a footwear specialist.
Suede losing its texture or color
Avoid exposure to excessive moisture and direct sunlight. Use a suede protector spray and clean only with appropriate suede care tools. Professional cleaning might be necessary for significant damage.

- Midsole and Rubber: Clean the midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the cloth is not overly wet.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with soap and water, then air dry.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials. Stuffing them with paper can help them retain their shape while drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color and material integrity.
