What is being a sneakerhead all about? Is it really just a chase to best the next man’s pair, to pull the craziest neck-breakers out of the closet? No doubt, that “chase culture” and premium on exclusivity will remain a part of the culture for as long as it exists, much as it prompts think pieces and blog posts alike.

In that “race to the top,” we’d argue that the actual footwear aspect sometimes gets lost in the mix. Yes, catching a W is an excellent feeling, but special editions aren’t so special if they’re deployed day-in, day-out. Every brand tacitly understands that fact, so the models that handle workhorse duty may not get the same shine as their most coveted. Now with its collaborative history well in the rear view, the New Balance 9060 absolutely occupies that lane for the Boston giant, still seen worn by the general public on an inescapable level and offering up a range of options for that continued demand. Despite the fact that Spring is just around the corner, autumn tonality is in focus with the shoe’s latest, pairing earthy tan suede with viridescent leather interplay below, rounded out with the imprint’s love for neutral bases.

The New Balance 9060 “Mindful Grey” should be coming to NewBalance.com and partnering retailers in short order, clocking in with its usual $150 sticker price.
