The New Balance 9060 is what happens when the 2000s crash into modern sneaker tech, and somehow it works.

These chunky sneakers feature that nostalgic dad-shoe silhouette that's back in style (again), but with updated ABZORB and SBS cushioning that actually makes them comfortable for all-day wear. The wavy lines, mesh panels, and suede overlays create a look that's part throwback, part futuristic, and totally versatile enough to wear with everything from leggings to jeans. Because if you're going to commit to the chunky sneaker trend, you might as well do it in something that won't destroy your feet.
