The New Balance 9060 Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, excelling in both comfort and style. The combination of ABZORB and ABZORB SBS cushioning ensures a plush feel underfoot, making them ideal for prolonged periods of standing or walking during daily activities. Whether you're navigating city streets, attending casual social events, or simply running errands, these trainers provide ample support and impact absorption.
Their unique Y2K-inspired design and mixed-texture upper (suede and mesh) make them a statement piece, perfect for fashion-conscious individuals looking to add a distinctive touch to their wardrobe. They pair well with various casual attire, from denim and chinos to streetwear-inspired looks. The diamond rubber outsole offers reliable traction, providing confidence on urban surfaces.

These trainers are highly versatile for styling. They complement:
Casual Wear: Jeans, shorts, cargo pants, and t-shirts.
Streetwear: Joggers, hoodies, and oversized apparel.
Smart Casual: Can be paired with certain tailored trousers or an untucked button-down for a contemporary look.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your 9060 trainers, especially given their suede components.
Suede Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protective spray to repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the spray's manufacturer.
General Cleaning: For light dirt and dust, use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) to gently brush off particles in one direction.
Spot Cleaning Suede: For stubborn marks on suede, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. Work gently to lift the stain, then brush with a suede brush.
Cleaning Mesh and Sole: For mesh areas and the rubber sole, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid saturating the suede. For the outsole, a brush can help remove trapped dirt.
Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid: Washing machines, harsh chemicals, or fully submerging in water, especially due to the suede material.
