New Balance introduces a new tonal iteration of the 9060 sneaker model for the Spring 2025 season with the launch of the Fluorescent colorway palette. The palette features hues of bright pink yellow, and orange. In terms of the construction, it is crafted with soft suede paired with premium leather and mesh for a touch of breathability.
Prepared for the warmer season ahead, the silhouette has a chunky hybrid model resting on top of a cream midsole unit and bright yellow outside at the base. The 'N' branding is seen on the medial side of the shoe in white for a pop of contrast -- this follows the inner lining and laces with orange branding at the tongue to match the heel.
