Why our bestseller is currently dominating the sneaker scene
The New Balance 9060 is the rare case where a silhouette is simultaneously trendy, a comfort wonder, and a style icon. It takes the DNA of the legendary 99x series, turns up the proportions, adds layered suede overlays, and places a striking midsole underneath that not only looks striking but also gently cushions every step. That's precisely why the 9060 has become an all-time bestseller in our shop—a sneaker that instantly makes outfits more grown-up, modern, and photogenic.

What makes the NB 9060 so special
The 9060 hits the sweet spot between retro-modern and everyday wear . The wider base provides stability, while the voluminous midsole provides visible—and tangible—cushioning. Add to that the typical New Balance feel: premium suede, open mesh for breathability, precise seams, and a step-in that's soft even without breaking in. The look is Y2K-inspired but never dressed up; it works equally well with techwear, tailoring, casual denim, and clean monochrome fits.
Fit, sizing & comfort
Our feedback from hundreds of fittings: The 9060 fits most feet true-to-size . If you're between sizes or have very wide feet, go up half a size. The tongue is comfortably padded, the heel counter is stable, and the forefoot has plenty of air space without feeling bulky. For precise support, we recommend thin performance socks; if you prefer a cozy look, try slightly thicker athletic socks – the 9060 accommodates both without altering the fit.
Our most popular 9060 colorways – highlights, looks & shop links
All links are placeholders—simply adapt them to your product pages. We'll start with the bestseller and build up stylistically from there, so readers can quickly find their colorway.
9060 “Mushroom Brown” – our No. 1 bestseller
If there's one colorway that perfectly defines the 9060, it's Mushroom Brown : warm earth and mushroom tones, soft cream contrasts, and buttery-soft suede. The shoe enhances beige fits, harmonizes with off-white denim, and works just as well in fall/winter as it does in spring. For minimalist looks, simply pair it with a ribbed knit top and wide chinos for a warm, expensive look without the logo blare.
9060 “Sea Salt White” – the cleanest all-day pick
Sea Salt White is the "white T-shirt" of the 9060s: clean, photogenic, and versatile. Tonal with ecru, as a counterpoint to black cargo pants, or as a fresh accent under long coats – this colorway will bring clarity to your wardrobe. For those who love minimalist outfits, this is the perfect daily pair for 12 months of the year.
9060 “Moonrock Linen” – neutral elegance with depth
Moonrock Linen blends sand, stone, and linen tones to create a restrained, high-quality overall look. This makes the shoe equally at home with natural palettes, linen trousers, utility vests, and dark jeans. Anyone looking for "light but not boring" will automatically land here.
9060 “Chocolate” – Deep browns for autumn/winter
The rich chocolate palette gives the 9060 a premium twist: brown suede with a sculpted effect, contrasted by a lighter midsole. The strongest looks: gray tailoring + a wool coat, dark denim with a raw finish, or a leather jacket + a cashmere scarf. The pair immediately appears "dressed up" without being overdressed.
9060 “Turtledove” – Soft tones, maximum wearability
Turtledove showcases the light, warm side of the 9060. Perfect with cozy knits, fleece layers, Off-White pants, and clean sneaker socks. If you like "quiet luxury" but want to style it for everyday wear, this is the friendliest version in the lineup.
9060 “Grey Matter” – New Balance grey on a modern silhouette
NB grey is a genre of its own – Grey Matter brings it to the 9060 form. Business casual with a grey suit and mockneck? Works. Street with cargo and puffer? Works. This colorway is a safe bet if you just want one pair that works everywhere.
9060 “Magnet” – Industrial vibes for night/tech fits
Magnet is the undercover pair: dark graphite, cool accents, ready for all-black outfits, Gore-Tex shells, and nylon layers. For those who love photo outfits and want to style "smarter" than black, Magnet is the most cinematic version in the pack.
9060 “Green Cream” (also searched for “Grean Cream”) – neutral with pop
Green Cream adds fresh yet subdued accents: green details on a warm cream base. Neutral outfits add a subtle pop without being too loud. Team it with khaki cargo pants, a white tee, and a light-colored baseball cap for a smart weekender look.

Material, care & durability
The 9060 combines premium suede with mesh in most colorways. Before wearing the shoe for the first time, we recommend using a suede-compatible waterproofing spray. Remove coarse dust with a soft brush, treat stains selectively with suede cleaner. Clean mesh areas with a damp cloth, and air the insoles regularly. Please do not machine wash – this protects the bond and preserves the shape. If you rotate your pairs and air them out after wear, you'll enjoy your 9060 for a long time.
Why the 9060 remains our bestseller
Because it serves three scenes simultaneously. Sneakerheads get a distinctive silhouette that stands out from the mainstream. Fashionistas appreciate the Y2K influences without sacrificing comfort. Everyday wearers love that the 9060 fits 90% of their wardrobe, from hoodies to coats, from coffee shops to evening dates. It can be both basic and statement – depending on the colorway and styling. Added to that is its availability: Instead of only appearing in rare drops, the 9060 is recurring in many colorways without losing its desirability.
