The 9060 is inspired by the tech-led designs of the early 2000s, blended with the legacy silhouette of the 99x series.
Does this model come in other colours?

Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather or upper materials
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the shoe retain its shape and mitigate deep creasing.
Dirt buildup in mesh panels
Use a soft, dry toothbrush to gently dislodge debris from the mesh fibers before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 9060 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The 9060 fits true to size, but ensure you select the appropriate UK sizing for your foot shape to maximize comfort.
- Cleaning: Spot clean leather and mesh areas using a soft-bristled brush and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this may affect the structural integrity of the layered components.
- Maintenance: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees if you intend to maintain the shape of the toebox over long periods of non-use.
