Does chunky sneakers
matter to you
if it provided you
with all day comfort?
Well, in this video,
we will be reviewing
one of those chunky sneakers
from New Balance
called the 9060s.
Stay till the end to find out
whether or not
I think it's
worth your money!
The 9060 is New Balance's
way of attracting
sneakerheads,
who likes the iconic 990s
but would like to have
more of a statement sneaker
that will turn
people's heads.
This sneaker was heavily
inspired by the Y2K
era's tech aesthetic.
To me, the most exciting part
besides the overall design
is the colourways
that came out for the 9060s
thus far.
There were limited ones
from collabs with Joe
Fresh Goods
called Penny Cookie Pink
and Baby Shower Blue.
General releases
also had some
really great colorways,
such as Sea salt
and Mindful Grey with Surf.
The colourway
we will be reviewing
today is the Natural Indigo.
The 9060s has a logo
jewel right on the tongue
and this small design detail
really brings back
some vintage technology
graphic design vibes.
Now, if you have watched
my videos before,
you would know
that I always
prioritize comfort features
over anything else.
But before we get into that,
here are some facts.
This shoe costs
about $170 CAD or $150 USD
due to the large toe box
borrowed from the 99x series.
This shoe fits
better half size
down from true to size.
The sizing was also made
with unisex options in mind.
The materials used to build
this shoe are mesh upper,
pigskin suede,
and a plastic translucent
heel counter for the rear.
Now into the comfort
technology.
The technology
implemented into this shoe
is the dual density ABZORB
with SBS cushioning,
midsole
and insole also features
a cork like material.
The midsole cushioning
itself is dual density.
The top portion
is very squishy,
which I believe
is the SBS cushioning
and it feels very much
like a gel,
whereas the bottom
half of the shoe
where the pods are as ABZORB
which gives you less
impact forces
when striking down
on your feet.
The overall feeling
you get in
this sneaker
is the coziness
of the support
that wraps
all around your feet.
In comparison,
it feels nothing
like Adidas Boost
and it feels a bit
more like a flexible
alphabounce cushioning.
When I put these on,
I immediately knew that
these were already
superior in comfort
than the 990 V5's.
I know
I will get flamed for it,
but that's okay though.
Though
this type of cushioning
is definitely better
for on the go
and standing around
for a moment,
it isn't necessarily
the best type of shoe
for standing in
one spot for a long time.
The shoes upper is also
not incredibly interesting
in terms of comfort,
and it also isn't
as padded in form cushioning
as it is on a 990 v5,
though
it does feel breathable
and has a lot of wiggle room
for your toes.
The toe box shape is rounded
and it feels like a foot
shaped shoe
as opposed to a narrow
shaped one.
My thoughts are
if you're looking
for a fashion
statement sneaker
that will give you
all day comfort
for an affordable price,
then this is a
fantastic choice.
