In recent years, New Balance has enjoyed a resurgence, capturing the attention of both sneakerheads and the fashion-conscious public alike. A significant part of this success, which saw the brand increase its sales by 23%, has been the introduction of innovative silhouettes that blend heritage-inspired designs with modern sensibilities, such as the ever-popular New Balance 9060. New Balance added a Clay Ash color scheme to the Y2K-inspired sneaker for the model's latest makeover.
The New Balance 9060 Clay Ash represents a fusion of past and future, featuring a combination of mesh, nubuck, and leather across its upper. This model stands out with its earthy Clay Ash tones on the overlays, complemented by soft creams and tans on the underlays. This look creates a palette that resonates with minimalist and bold fashion choices.
Accentuating the design, pops of dark vintage rose on the lace set and tongue tag add a subtle but striking contrast. The lateral side's "N" logo boasts a 3M reflective finish, enhancing visibility and adding a premium touch. The 9060's sole unit combines aesthetic appeal with functionality. A vintage-shaded chunky foam midsole incorporates foam pods in dark vintage rose, offering a visually striking foundation that doesn't compromise comfort. The design is rounded off with a durable black rubber outsole.
The New Balance 9060 Clay Ash will release in March 2024 through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men's sizing, the retail price is set at $150.
