The New Balance 9060 Turtledove reimagines the classic 99X models with a nod to the futuristic tech sneaker aesthetics from the early 2000s.


The Turtledove colorway of the New Balance 9060 begins with an upper base of lightweight, breathable ivory mesh. Suede and soft leather overlays in gradient shades from creamy white to tan ripple across the upper in wavy strips, calling to mind a feeling of motion. A translucent CR device at the heel helps add to foot stability, while the white lace closure over the ivory tongue provides a secure fit with every step. The side panel N is stitched on to the outer side and embroidered on the inner.


The aspect of this eye-catching sneaker that impresses us most is the high-octane sole. The four-tone foam midsole features ABZORB underfoot and SBS ABZORB under the heel for cushioning and energy return. The black rubber outsole with diamond-shaped beige rubber pods is a nod to the 860 silhouette.
