Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 9060 'Arctic Grey' is designed for adults seeking a blend of futuristic style and everyday comfort. Its key benefit lies in its unique aesthetic, combining mesh, suede, and leather for a distinctive look, alongside advanced cushioning for comfortable wear. A potential caveat is that the pre-distressed midsole might not appeal to those preferring a pristine finish. Key features include a sleek icy grey mesh upper, pigskin suede and synthetic leather overlays, a jeweled NB 9060 logo, and an embroidered ‘N’ logo. The shoe is built with a dual-density ABZORB midsole and SBS heel cushioning, all supported by a durable diamond-pattern rubber outsole.

FAQs
What is the primary material of the New Balance 9060 'Arctic Grey'?
The upper is constructed from a combination of icy grey mesh, pigskin suede, and synthetic leather overlays.
How does the cushioning system work?
It features a dual-density ABZORB midsole for responsive cushioning and SBS heel cushioning for added stability and shock absorption.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer good comfort and support for daily wear, they are primarily designed as lifestyle or fashion sneakers and not optimized for serious running.
How should I clean the suede parts?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt and a dedicated suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth for stains. Allow to air dry.
What does 'pre-distressed' midsole mean?
It means the midsole has been treated to have a slightly worn or aged appearance, adding to the shoe's unique aesthetic.
Can these shoes be worn by women?
While designed for men, women can wear them if they select the appropriate size conversion. Check sizing charts carefully.
What is the main difference between the 9060 and other New Balance series?
The 9060 often features a more progressive, futuristic design language compared to heritage models like the 990 series, while still incorporating advanced cushioning technology.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear with thinner socks initially. Leather and suede may stretch slightly with wear.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few days to break them in. If the noise persists, check if the insole is positioned correctly or if moisture is trapped.
Discoloration on suede
Use a specialized suede cleaner and a suede brush to gently remove stains. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
