The New Balance 9060 sneaker reinterprets familiar elements from classic 99X series models with a warped sensibility inspired by the futuristic, visible tech aesthetic of the Y2K era. The upper features sway bars, taken from the 990, for a sense of visible motion, while wavy lines and scaled up proportions on a sculpted pod midsole emphasize the cushioning platforms of ABZORB and SBS. The ABZORB midsole absorbs impact through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, and the dual-density midsole features ABZORB and SBS cushioning. A tongue logo inspired by the original 991 lace jewel adds a touch of classic style, while a translucent CR device at the heel provides a sleek finish. The diamond outsole pattern is inspired by the classic 860 design, and the shoe features a pigskin and mesh upper with a lace closure.
