New Balance 9060 ‘Dark Olivine’

The New Balance 9060 Dark Olivine showcases this retrofuturistic model in a green hue similar to vintage army-issue garments. The sneaker reimagines the iconic 99X series, blending retro design elements with a daring, futuristic edge influenced by the tech-inspired aesthetics of the early 2000s. The Dark Olivine New Balance 9060 upper features a mix of materials, starting with a mesh base with suede overlays in deep olive hues, providing a premium feel with breathable comfort. The signature jumbo “N” badge marks the lateral and medial sides, with more branding elements on the tongue, heel, and insole. The silhouette sits atop a chunky midsole featuring the trusted ABZORB and SRS cushioning systems, with a rubber outsole completing the sneaker’s design. The New Balance 9060 Dark Olivine has a military-esque color palette, which blends olive tones for a rugged yet refined look. The Dark Olivine hue blends shades of khaki, sage green, and olive for a dynamic look that is both classic and minimalist.

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.
