The New Balance 9060 is a new expression of the refined style and innovation-driven design of the classic 99X series. The shoe reinterprets familiar 99X elements with a distorted sensibility inspired by the futuristic, visible tech aesthetic of the Y2K era. Sway bars carried over from the 990 are expanded and used throughout the upper for a sense of visible movement, while scalloped lines and scaled-down proportions on a molded pod midsole put an exaggerated emphasis on the familiar cushioning platforms of ABZORB and SBS.

- ABZORB midsole absorbs shock through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance
- Dual-density midsole with ABZORB and SBS cushioning
- Tongue logo inspired by the original 991 lace logo
- Translucent CR device on the heel
- Outsole diamond pattern inspired by the classic 860 design
