New Balance 9060 “Sea Salt/Rain Cloud/Black” U9060ZGF

Though positioned as a hype model early in its run via collaborations with the likes of Bodega and Bricks & Wood, the New Balance 9060 has settled into its life as a widely-accessible lifestyle shoe in the time since. Things aren’t likely to change in 2025, either, as the shoe has filled that lane and then some, an extremely frequent sight in day-to-day life. And when the Boston Brand serves up tasteful looks like the “Sea Salt” at hand, it’s extremely easy to see why.

The off-white tonality is cast in wide swaths on this shoe, only reserving a few detailing sections to other hues. Namely, weaving underpinnings towards the forefoot and the translucent cliff on the midsole carry neutral grey coloring, while the embroidered outline of the “N” logo at the quarter and the majority of the outsole carries jet black. Surely any off-white kicks are easier worn in the summer, but the left-of-center tint for this shoe pushes it closer to being an all-year wardrobe staple.

The New Balance 9060 “Sea Salt” is expected to hit shelves in short order, commanding its typical $150 retail price. You can catch detailed images included below to get a sense ahead of the actual release.
