In the world of footwear, where style meets substance, New Balance continues to set the bar with their latest release, the 9060. This silhouette pays homage to the refined, innovation-driven heritage of New Balance’s 99X series while introducing a bold, Y2K-inspired aesthetic that transcends time.
The 9060 is a compelling fusion of past and future, embracing the tech-inspired visual elements reminiscent of the late 90s and early 2000s. This was an era that celebrated the allure of a high-tech future. Reflecting that unique sensibility, the 9060 showcases an exaggerated design language, blending iconic New Balance features with contemporary design elements for a look that is as versatile as it is striking.
Taking cues from the 99X series, known for its meticulous craftsmanship and performance-focused innovation, the 9060 builds upon this legacy. It marries the classic ABZORB and SBS cushioning, renowned for their comfort and shock absorption, with a boldly revamped silhouette. The shoe’s reimagined design includes a warped, layered midsole that adds an intriguing dimensionality—perfect for those who appreciate the unexpected twists of the Y2K era.
The 9060’s style is a refined statement, with premium materials that provide a luxurious touch, embodying the brand’s commitment to quality and design excellence. With a combination of mesh, suede, and leather in muted yet modern tones, it creates a look that feels both familiar and refreshingly new. Whether paired with casual or dressier attire, the 9060 is an adaptable companion, elevating any outfit with a touch of retro-futuristic flair.
The 9060 launches in three new colours on Thursday, 21 November 2024. Available online and New Balance Mall of Africa, Sandton, Gateway & Canal Walk experience stores or online at www.newbalance.co.za.
