FAQs
What is the primary inspiration behind the New Balance 9060 design?
The design is inspired by a futuristic, Y2K-era aesthetic, reinterpreting classic 99X series elements with a warped, modern sensibility.
What makes the cushioning in the 9060 special?
It features an exaggerated emphasis on ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms, providing enhanced comfort and shock absorption.
Are these trainers suitable for very active children?
Yes, the durable leather material and responsive cushioning are designed to withstand active play and provide comfort for everyday wear.
How should I clean the grey leather and suede parts?
Wipe leather with a damp cloth and use a suede brush or eraser for suede. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry naturally.
What is the main difference between the 9060 and older 99X models?
The 9060 takes familiar 99X elements but warps them with a Y2K-inspired aesthetic, featuring expanded sway bars and a sculpted pod midsole for a more dynamic look and feel.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash components like laces and spot clean the shoe itself to preserve the materials and structure.
What does 'ABZORB' and 'SBS' cushioning refer to?
ABZORB refers to New Balance's proprietary foam that absorbs shock and disperses impact, while SBS (Strobel Board Slip Lasting) relates to construction methods that enhance cushioning and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to the New Balance sizing chart and measure your child's foot. Adjust lacing for a more customized fit.
Difficulty cleaning specific stains.
For stubborn stains on leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For suede areas, use a specialized suede brush or eraser. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles becoming detached.
Inspect the shoe for any damage. Minor detachment might be fixable with a strong adhesive suitable for footwear. For significant issues, contact customer support.
