Mesh upper. Pigskin suede overlays. Dual-density midsole with ABZORB and SBS cushioning for comfort. Translucent CR device at the heel. Diamond outsole pattern inspired by classic 860 design. Tongue logo inspired by the original 991 lace jewel. Reflective N logo. The 9060 is a relatively new lifestyle sneaker from New Balance, inspired by the brand’s celebrated 99x series and its rich running heritage. A nod to tech-led aesthetics of the early 2000s, the silhouette’s retro-futuristic design incorporates elements from past NB models, including sway bars taken from the 990, here expanded and implemented throughout the upper to give a sense of visible motion. Wavy lines and scaled-up proportions then draw attention to the sculpted, pod midsole, which is outfitted with the brand’s familiar ABZORB and SBS cushioning platforms to deliver optimal comfort.

I am relatively new to the NB shoe. Historically I have preferred another brand. After trying three different NB styles, I have been consistently impressed with the quality. The 9060 is the third style I've tried from NB, and it has taken the lead in my top three favorite sneakers. The quality and comfort are superior, and to round it all off, the style is on point. Fit is TTS. I typically wear an 8.5 in other major brands. The 8.5 might be a sliver larger than other brands, but not enough to make me size down. They go with a variety of outfits and I always get compliments from complete strangers when wearing these. I wish there were other colorways available in my size bc I would snatch them up.

I have a hard time finding shows that are both functional and good looking. Typically I opt for one of the two, and tolerate the absence of the other.These shoes are so comfortable, and easily the best looking shoe I've ever owned. There was a brief "break in period", as they have slightly higher arches (which are ideal for me). However, following the first couple sessions, they're mad comfy!

These are probably the most beautiful shoes in my closet. Flawless design and quality. I was expecting WAY more from the "abzorb" sole. Lacks support over a full day of standing. The shape of the futuristic sole will get you into some awkward positions and not in a good way. The heel sticks out and gets snagged in unlikely spots. Same with the side of the sole. Overall shape and look is flawless. Comfortable but noy after a long day (6'4 220lb)

I love these. I had never had any New Balances before and these were my first pair. I fell in love with the colors and the design of this shoe. The 9060's are such a cool shoe because I can use them for anything. They are extremely comfortable, I can wear them for a nice night out, with casual clothes, just to go and take a walk, for a fancy event, these look good with anything. The versatility of the shoe is priceless. After getting this pair, I have to say I am looking forward to adding some more New Balances to my collection because usually the shoes I get from other brands look nice but aren't comfortable or vise versa. These are the perfect bridge to both worlds. I will say, since the material of these 9060's, I believe, is suede, they can easily dirty. I'd say ... MoreI love these.

These are the perfect bridge to both worlds. I will say, since the material of these 9060's, I believe, is suede, they can easily dirty. I'd say to wear them on nice days out and try not to drop any liquids on them that could prob stain them permanently. I am crazy about keeping my shoes looking new for as long as I can so I'd say that's the only downfall to these. Overall, if you're looking for some clean, slick, and classically modern kicks, these are definitely it.
The 9060's are my favorite model. They offer me the necessary stability when walking and running - hugging my foot in all the right places. The insoles are also nicely padded and comfortable. They are also breathable thanks to the design. I've been wearing these sneakers out for walks and at the gym and they're my new favorite pair. They resemble the Yeezy 500 with the protruding soles, and the comfort. The design mimics that of orthopedic shoes very closely. I highly recommend them.
I've been starting to collect shoes lately and the 9060s caught my eye. I use this as an everyday shoe. I like shoes that are unique. I love the sole/tread pattern. The soft satiny insole, and the thick, shaggy suede. Super comfortable. Love the maroon laces. Box was a bit underwhelming if collecting.
First off, I also have wanted to get a pair of the 9060s for some time but they always sell out in the small sizes within a few days. I managed to snag a 5.5 size and thought maybe it was a mistake to buy half a size smaller than usual. But reviewers for other 9060 models have claimed it runs a half size big. I agree, at least in regards to length. I have a wide foot so the right shoe in particular is a bit tight right now but I believe it will loosen up in time. If you want extra width, I suppose getting your true size could work but it runs long. Looks great, perhaps my favorite NB shoe from that perspective. Surprisingly feels good underfoot as well. I think they are more comfortable out of the box than the 2002R. One thing to note, the description of the ... MoreFirst off, I also have wanted to get a pair of the 9060s for some time but they always sell out in the small sizes within a few days.

I think they are more comfortable out of the box than the 2002R. One thing to note, the description of the colorway, covert green, is completely inaccurate. At least for the pair of shoes I received. That part of the midsole, at the heels, is dark gray. Unmistakably dark gray. Not sure what happened there but I don't mind. So fair warning if that is the one aspect of the colorway that you find most appealing. NB's inventory and/or queue system for these new/limited release models is frustrating to say the least. But this time I got lucky I suppose. If you need one of the small sizes, you have to be quick about it.
Overall: Very pleased with my purchase so far. Price is a bit high.Construction: These feel very similar to the 990 on foot. Great construction and cushioning, NB always hit that sweet spot of feeling solid but comfortable. The heel especially feels good thanks to the additional layers of cushioning.Looks: Yes these are trendy. The midsole flares out and the additional padding adds heft to this shoe. The heel area especially looks very different with the split down the middle. Some will like the style and some won't. I think they look great with some straight-leg pants and relaxed clothing but skinny fits would look very odd with how big these shoes are.Additional thoughts: Would love to see these in a Made in US model! I understand that would increase the ... MoreOverall: Very pleased with my purchase so far. Price is a bit high.Construction: These feel very similar to the 990 on foot.

Beautiful Sneaker! I've been obsessed with the chunky dad sneaker vibe this year and the Rain Cloud 9060's do not disappoint! The colorway is perfect! I'm really into the neutral aesthetic and these were a must cop! Loving the cool grey tones and the color blocking/placement! My only complaint would be the purchase process of waiting in a Que and not knowing or being sure that I am guaranteed access to purchase. My package did arrive beat up & not in the condition of my liking, causing slight damage to my shoebox. I would also recommend not having the label of the brand on the actual shipping package. In demand/sold out sneakers have a wild way of disappearing during transit. Over all I love my sneaker's and can not wait to style an outfit around them!
I fell in love with the silhouette when I saw it in the Brad Hall video for the sneakers he was going to wear this summer. In the video he had the JFG inside voices colab colorway. I wanted a pair of 9060s but they were sold out and I wasn't going to pay resell. So I waited until these dropped and I bought them the day they came out. I was a little iffy on the colorway but it grew on me and it looks better in person. The shoe itself is very comfortable and stylish. There are hints of 3M and they basically go well with anything brown/black/cream/silver. Incredibly comfortable too. Hopefully there's going to be an all grey colorway released soon as well. Every iconic silhouette like 990v3 has its standard grey version. I believe this silhouette is the definition of ... MoreI fell in love with the silhouette when I saw it in the Brad Hall video for the sneakers he was going to wear this summer.

I believe this silhouette is the definition of being instantly iconic which can be seen from all the hype surrounding it. All it's missing now is a full grey colorway to truly cement itself as such.
