FAQs
How do I clean my New Balance 9060 sneakers?
For the mesh sections, use a soft brush and mild soap with water. For the pigskin suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or drying.
What is ABZORB and SBS cushioning?
ABZORB is a superior blend of foam cushioning and compression set, providing optimal shock absorption and energy return. SBS is a specialized type of ABZORB cushioning that provides additional stability and a soft, responsive feel, often used in key impact zones.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
While the 9060 features advanced cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, offering exceptional comfort for daily wear and urban activities rather than high-performance athletic sports.
What kind of outfits pair well with the New Balance 9060?
Its Y2K-inspired, chunky aesthetic makes it ideal for streetwear, casual wear, and contemporary fashion styles. It pairs well with jeans, cargo pants, tracksuits, athletic shorts, and oversized apparel.
What does the 'Y2K-inspired design' mean for the 9060?
It refers to design elements reminiscent of the late 1990s and early 2000s, characterized by a bold, futuristic, and often chunky aesthetic. This includes the sculpted midsole, expanded sway bars, and a dynamic silhouette that stands out.
Is the New Balance 9060 true to size?
New Balance sneakers generally run true to size, but fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. It's recommended to consult a New Balance sizing chart or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede material appears dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions, then brush again once dry to restore the nap.
Sneakers feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
New sneakers, especially those with substantial cushioning and structured uppers, often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials and cushioning to conform to your foot over time.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces.
Ensure the N-ergy rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. Dirt or small stones can reduce traction. If the issue persists, check the diamond outsole pattern for excessive wear. For heavily worn soles, professional resoling might be an option, though typically the full sole would need replacing on such a sneaker.
Laces frequently come untied.
Experiment with different lacing techniques. A 'surgeon's knot' or a double knot can provide a more secure hold for active wear. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not uncomfortably tight.

Care
To maintain the premium look and longevity of your New Balance 9060 sneakers, gentle care is recommended.
- Mesh Sections: Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Rub in small, circular motions.
- Pigskin Suede Panels: For the suede, specialized suede cleaner and a dedicated suede brush are essential. Gently brush to remove loose dirt, then apply cleaner according to product instructions. Once dry, brush again to restore the nap.
- Outsoles: A stiff brush and mild soapy water can be used to clean the N-ergy rubber outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry your sneakers, as this can severely compromise their structure and materials.
