New Balance 9060 X "Black Cement" U9060IAA

The New Balance 9060 X “Black Cement” pushes the 99X legacy forward with a bold reinterpretation rooted in Y2K aesthetics. Taking inspiration from classic models, the shoe introduces an exaggerated design language that blends heritage with a futuristic feel.

A TPU upper cage gives the silhouette a sleeker, more modern edge, while sway bars—borrowed from the 990—extend across the shoe for a sense of motion. Wavy lines and oversized proportions define the sculpted pod midsole, highlighting ABZORB and SBS cushioning underfoot. The result is a design that looks experimental yet delivers comfort with every step.

This colourway takes on a tonal mix of black and grey, with subtle shifts across translucent sections and graphic overlays. The layered finish replaces the typical leather build, giving the pair a new dimension while nodding back to New Balance’s signature grey heritage. The contrast between the dark foundation and lighter accents adds depth without losing the understated edge.

The 9060 X “Black Cement” stands as a confident continuation of New Balance’s approach to reimagining its most iconic series. It fuses performance-driven details with a distinctive design identity, making it one of the standout entries in the line’s next chapter.
