Can we say that the New Balance 9060 is becoming the brand’s equivalent to the Nike Dunk or other brands’ staple shoes? Certainly it’d need to sustain its current success for much, much longer to make for any one-to-one comparisons, but if you squint it’s more apt than you may think. The Boston brand has made its lifestyle staple readily available in a wide range of colorways for several consecutive seasons, aimed at keeping the shoe at the ready for a wide range of consumer tastes.
En route to achieving that goal, the Boston brand’s designers have managed to carve out some intriguing schemes, including the one on display with this black/grey do-up at hand. The ongoing “Grey Days” celebration and the brand’s proclivity towards neutral shades in general mean the steely body should come as no surprise, but the color-blocked mudguards buck the model’s usual configuration and make for an eye-catching visual contrast. Finally, for those who have been watching the release wire with our same fervor, you’ll note that this pair shares the same aesthetic cues of a recently-released red and white edition.
This New Balance 9060 is already available via select retailers like Sneaker Politics, carrying a $150 retail price. A wider New Balance launch will likely follow soon, but you can get your hands on an early pair via the links embedded below.
