New Balance 9060 'Slate Grey' U9060ORB Men's & Women's Sneakers

The New Balance 9060 'Slate Grey' (style code U9060ORB) is a unisex lifestyle sneaker built by warping the brand's classic 99X running DNA into wavy layers and oversized cushioning pods. This colorway runs a cool slate grey palette, the most versatile way to wear the 9060's exaggerated shape without the shoe shouting.

Why you'll want this pair

Frequently asked questions

Does the New Balance 9060 run true to size?
Yes, though it fits slightly snug through the toe box. Take your usual New Balance size, or go up half a size if your feet are wide.

What is the difference between the 9060 and the 990?
The 9060 takes the 99X series design language and exaggerates it: wavier lines, a chunkier stacked sole, and a warped N logo, making it a lifestyle shoe rather than a performance runner.

Is the 9060 comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes. The ABZORB and SBS cushioning handles long walks and standing well, and the stacked sole adds extra underfoot comfort.

Is this a men's or women's shoe?
It is unisex. Women typically convert by going down about 1.5 sizes from their US women's size.

How do I clean them?
Brush the suede dry, wipe the mesh with mild soapy water, then air dry away from heat. Never machine wash.

Are these authentic?
Yes, every pair ships brand new in the original box with all accessories.
