New Balance's Truffle Dad Shoe Is the Best Thing Your Dad Never Wore
Some shoes shout. The New Balance 9060 in "Truffle Salt" doesn't need to.
A mashup of the iconic 900 series and the early 2000s 860 performance runner, the 9060 is the dad shoe done right.
That retro-futuristic silhouette, think 70s runner meets modern street, sits in the sweet spot between heritage and high-tech that New Balance does better than anyone.
The 6MU neutral toned colorways enhance a lightweight synthetic upper in a way that makes three shades of gray feel like the most interesting thing in your shoe cupboard. Which, frankly, it is.
Under the hood, ABZORB cushioning in the midsole handles shock absorption without adding bulk, so it looks substantial and feels it too.
The details do the rest. A large N logo on the lateral side lets you know exactly what you're dealing with. Chunky sole, classic lacing, authentic retro-runner energy. New Balance has been on a roll, and the 9060 in Truffle Salt is another reminder that nobody does quiet confidence quite like them.
Turns out dad was onto something all along.
