Chunky Light Tonal Footwear

New Balance Launches the 9060 in a Sea Salt Colorway Design

— January 4, 2023 — Fashion
New Balance introduces a new Sea Salt colorway palette of the 9060 sneaker model, with minimal design language detailing the chunky silhouette. It starts with crisp white that makes up the mesh underlays for a breathable touch. Suede and leather continue at the panels throughout.

Soft suede trimmings are designed in Concrete along the ankle sections and toe boxes. The lateral side of the shoe is accented with the classic N branding logo and the medial logos are done in a colorless aesthetic. The heels are enhanced further with clear plastic shields that rest by grey tabs embroidered with New Balance branding. It is then rounded out by the wavy ABZORB sole unit foundation in a yellowed finish.
