New Balance 9060 “Slate Grey”: chunky grey that goes with everything

Grey has never been this interesting: the New Balance 9060 “Slate Grey” (U9060ERD) takes NB’s boldest silhouette and immerses it in deep shades of grey. Chunky, wavy and yet surprisingly easy to wear.

The 9060 isn’t just another bulky sneaker. Those flowing lines, the stacked sole, the details running throughout: this model was designed to turn heads, and it delivers every time. While many chunky silhouettes are starting to feel a little tired, the 9060 stays fresh because the design offers far more than just bulk.

Slate Grey: the answer to every outfit dilemma

Grey on grey might sound boring, but on this silhouette, it works the other way around. Because the color stays understated, all those layers and lines of the 9060 really stand out. You suddenly notice just how much is going on in the design. Plus, a grey chunky sneaker is about as versatile as it gets: it works with black, denim, earth tones and an all-light outfit. One pair, zero stress.

The chunky sneaker that’s here to stay

Trends come and go, but some silhouettes simply become part of the culture. The 9060 has reached that point: from hype release to a staple in the rotation of pretty much everyone who’s into sneakers. Within that lineup, “Slate Grey” is the sensible choice without being boring. You’re not buying a colorway that will feel dated next season; you’re buying a pair that will still look great two years from now.

When it comes to styling, give it some room. Wide-leg trousers are its best friend, from baggy denim to cargos and track pants. Slim trousers can make the silhouette look top-heavy, so they’re better saved for your sleeker pairs. Showing a little sock is perfectly fine, especially with shades that pick up the grey layers.

One thing to keep in mind: popular NB models in neutral colorways are notorious for selling out in common sizes quickly. One store may be sold out while another still has plenty of stock, often at completely different prices.
