The New Balance 9060 sneaker model gets a new tonal update that is inspired by Beef and Broccoli. The shoes are made from a shaggy brown suede material overlaying throughout the silhouette and boast a rugged design language. This can be seen making up the heel counters, medial side of the shoe, mudguards, and tongues.
To add a slight touch of tonal contrast, there are black mesh materials at the base layer and dark green leather that is seen as the toe box trimmings, heel, and back tabs. The color also makes its way onto the branding detail in the form of the N logo along the lateral side of the shoe and it is rounded out by the waved ABZORB sole unit.
