Launching as part of the ‘Cherry Blossom Pack,’ the New Balance 9060 ‘Mineral Red’ brings pastel hues to a lifestyle runner that blends elements from classic 99X models. Breathable pink mesh is employed on the upper, overlaid with brushed suede detailing in coral and burgundy. The signature ‘N’ logo appears in a metallic silver finish on the lateral side and broken off-white embroidery on the medial side. Wavy lines distinguish the chunky dual-density midsole, built with New Balance’s ABZORB and SBS cushioning.
The 9060 is a new expression of the refined style and innovation-led design that have made the 99X series home to some of the most iconic models in New Balance history. The 9060 reinterprets familiar elements sourced from classic 99X models with a warped sensibility inspired by the proudly futuristic, visible tech aesthetic of the y2k era. Sway bars, taken from the 990, are expanded and utilized throughout the entire upper for a sense of visible motion, while wavy lines and scaled up proportions on a sculpted pod midsole place an exaggerated emphasis on the familiar cushioning platforms of ABZORB, SBS and ENCAP.
