The New Balance 9060 in Black/Phantom/Magnet is a new expression of the 99X series, reinterpreting familiar elements with a warped sensibility inspired by the Y2K era's visible technology aesthetic. This silhouette features a mesh and leather upper, with some descriptions noting nubuck suede material. The dual-density midsole incorporates ABZORB and SBS cushioning, with expanded sway bars from the 990 utilized throughout the upper for a sense of visible motion. It also features wavy lines and scaled-up proportions on the sculpted pod midsole, a translucent CR element on the heel, and a diamond outsole pattern inspired by the 860. The tongue logo is inspired by the 991 jewel.
