The long-lasting New Balance 9060

Complementing the 9060's top-level craftsmanship is its lasting construction. It was easy to rock this sneaker on the streets especially once we realized how sturdy it is. It looked almost brand new after all of our tests!

Not the quietest New Balance shoe around

Keep in mind though that this sneaker can be squeaky at times. It's not the best experience but if you tighten the laces, it might stop!
