New Balance 9060 ‘Moonrock Linen’ Unisex Sneakers

The New Balance 9060 Moonrock Linen takes elements from the 990 and updates this retro silhouette with futuristic design details. Taking cues from heritage performance running sneakers, the 9060 Moonrock Linen boasts a bulky midsole and a rubber outsole with enhanced traction. The chunky midsole houses New Balance’s signature ABZORB technology and SBS cushioning, both of which provide responsive cushioning without weighing the foot down. In terms of branding, the New Balance ‘N’ can be found on the lateral side panel and the tongue houses an embedded triangular tag that reads ‘9060.’ Like other 9060 models, this version has a transparent CR device, which wraps around the heel.

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.
