FAQs

What does the '9060' designation signify?

The 9060 is a modern interpretation that draws inspiration from classic New Balance 99X series models, updated with a Y2K-influenced design language and enhanced cushioning technology.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the 9060 features advanced cushioning like ABZORB and SBS, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual wear shoes, not specialized running footwear.

How do I clean the suede upper?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly and a clean cloth. Avoid excessive water and allow to air dry.

What is the main design inspiration for the 9060?

The design is inspired by the Y2K era, featuring a 'warped sensibility' with visible tech elements and exaggerated proportions, while incorporating familiar 99X series design cues.

What are ABZORB and SBS cushioning?

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary cushioning material that absorbs shock and provides a responsive feel. SBS (Surlyn Stability) refers to a dual-density midsole technology offering stability and comfort.

Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?

Due to the suede material, it is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in wet conditions to prevent damage and staining. If they do get wet, ensure they are air-dried properly.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner to a cloth and gently rub the affected area. Allow to air dry completely.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied.

Ensure laces are of adequate length and not frayed. Consider using a double knot for extra security, or replace laces if they are worn out.

General discomfort during wear.

Verify that the size is correct. If the shoes are new, they may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique Y2K-inspired design offers a standout aesthetic.
  • Advanced cushioning (ABZORB and SBS) provides excellent comfort.
  • Durable suede construction ensures longevity.
  • Visible design elements like expanded sway bars add a modern touch.

Cons

  • The bold, oversized silhouette may not appeal to everyone.
  • Suede material requires specific care to maintain appearance.
  • May be perceived as a fashion-forward statement piece rather than a purely athletic shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The New Balance 9060 trainers require no setup out of the box; they are ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel. They are not specialized athletic shoes for specific sports.

Care:

  1. Suede Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner and a clean cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid using water excessively, as it can damage suede.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the rubber midsole and outsole with a damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources if they become wet.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain their shape and protect the material.
