New Balance introduces another tonal update of the 9060 sneaker model that is accented with a plethora of hues throughout the upper. The new Multicolor palette is made up of blue, red, yellow, pink, and green that is supported by muted tones of grey and black.
It sits on top of the signature 9060 sole unit foundation and has a diamond-shaped outsole unit for a dynamic silhouette. Additional details include the heel split and the thick CR device that has been seen in its archives. Due to this shape, the branded N logo is stretched out and applied in bright pink on both sides to round out the look -- it is now available to shop online and in-store.
