# Muted Suede Lifestyle Footwear New Balance Introduces a Washed Suede Pack of 9060s By Amy Duong | Published 2025-03-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/washed-suede References: [newbalance](http://newbalance.com)  [New Balance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-suede-colorway) adds more color palettes to the Washed Suede sneaker pack with three colorways to join the roster. This includes Landslide, Olivine, and Cornflower Blue. Two of the colorways are now available to shop and Cornflower Blue will receive a later launch date. The trio is defined by a vintage look with [muted shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-days-colorway) that evoke a feeling that it has been worn and washed out. To continue this notion, it all rests on top of [yellowed outsoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-balance-1906d) as well. The build is made from a blend of mesh and suede with more accents in neutral tones of white, cream, and tan with white making up the central laces over the top securing the foot in place.
