New Balance 9060 ‘Sea Salt Bone’

The New Balance 9060 Sea Salt Bone is a lifestyle athletic shoe with a multi-layered upper. The Sea Salt mesh base is accented by Bone suede with an expansive black suede overlay that meets the tip tread, encases the heel, and coordinates with the black tongue. The New Balance N logo appears in solid on the outer side and striped on the interior, with 9060 and NB branding on the tongue and heel. The chunky, textural midsole is done in Sea Salt and Bone, accented by a black tread outsole. New Balance, based out of Boston, Massachusetts, has a heritage that dates to 1906, and the brand has attracted athletes and amateurs for its running-focused shoes. The 9060 is a 2020s release from New Balance, which merges aspects of the iconic 990 running shoe with an early 2000s “dad” sneaker look. The 9060 has a hefty midsole, which gives supportive cushioning along with a Y2K look.

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.
