  • 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.
