FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the New Balance 9060 Eclipse?

What materials are used in the New Balance 9060 Eclipse?
The upper features a base of black mesh for breathability, overlaid with dark navy blue suede. It also includes leather accents and a dual-density midsole made with ABZORB and SBS cushioning.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Is this shoe suitable for running or athletic training?
The New Balance 9060 Eclipse is primarily designed for casual wear and comfort. While it offers good cushioning and support for walking, it is not optimized for intense athletic activities like running.
What does 'Eclipse' refer to in the product name?
'Eclipse' refers to this specific colorway, characterized by its contrasting black and dark navy blue palette which creates a striking visual effect.
How does the cushioning technology (ABZORB and SBS) benefit the wearer?
ABZORB provides shock absorption, reducing impact on the feet and joints, while SBS (Strobel Board শিপ) offers additional cushioning and support, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
What is the origin of the outsole design elements?
The outsole features gray rubber pads with off-white diamond patterns, which is a direct nod to the design found on the New Balance 860 model.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Protect suede with a water and stain repellent spray.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the laces to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to modify the fit.
Creasing on the upper
Creasing is natural with wear. To minimize deep creasing, use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid sharply bending the shoe when walking.
