Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 9060 'Arctic Grey' is designed for the style-conscious adult seeking a blend of futuristic design and everyday comfort. Its primary benefit is the distinctive aesthetic combined with New Balance's signature cushioning technology. A potential caveat is the detailed overlay construction, which may require specific care to maintain its pristine look. This trainer features an icy grey mesh upper, detailed with pigskin suede and synthetic leather overlays, a jeweled NB 9060 logo on the tongue, and an embroidered ‘N’ logo on the side. It incorporates a dual-density ABZORB midsole with pre-distressed detailing for a vintage feel, enhanced by SBS heel cushioning, and a durable diamond-pattern rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water on suede.
Laces becoming worn or dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent. Replace laces if they show signs of significant wear or fraying.
Traction feels reduced on smooth surfaces
Ensure the diamond pattern on the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. For persistent issues, consult the manufacturer for advice on outsole wear.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the correct size and fit. If discomfort persists, consider the possibility of an unsuitable fit for your foot type.

Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your 9060 'Arctic Grey' trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the mesh, suede, and leather sections. For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure any accumulated dirt in the outsole's diamond pattern is removed.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry.
