Andrew Rizzo In a market crowded with Y2K-inspired lifestyle shoes, the New Balance 9060 manages to stand out. Much of that claim can be attributed to its bulky ABZORB cushioning system, which literally makes the 9060 tower above other models, but additional consideration goes to the shoe’s marriage of bold aesthetics and trending colors.
Seen here via official retailer images, the latest New Balance 9060 takes on a “Driftwood/Castlerock” palette across its abstract panels and curves, adopting another contemporary look off the heels of a newly surfaced Olivine colorway. Identical mesh and suede treatments appear on this delivery, albeit in different coloring, while reflective accents deliver subtle flair on an otherwise monotone design. While the 9060 has embraced a wide variety of looks since its debut, this pair along with the Olivine’s and others like it would suggest New Balance has honed in on understated designs for the Spring 2024 season. However, that’s not to say the model won’t resurface in eccentric fashion as it’s been known to do.
Unisex sizes of the “Driftwood/Castlerock” 9060 are currently available at newbalance.com for $150, but appear to be moving quickly. If you’re a fan of this look, tap the shopping links below to secure your pair sooner rather than later.
