Original Article : After making its debut via a collaboration with Joe Freshgoods, New Balance’s 9060 has finally started to find its feet within the sneaker scene. The hybrid sneaker’s chunky build and bulbous sole unit were originally met with a mixed response, but with GR colourways now selling out left, right and centre, it’s no surprise that everyone wants their share, including the Whitaker Group. That’s right - A Ma Maniére’s parent company is getting in on the action with two new New Balance 9060 colourways, dubbed the “Missing Pieces” pack.
With both brands known to place an emphasis on craftmanship, the “Missing Pieces” Whitaker Group x New Balance 9060s are just as premium as you’d expect. Soft pigskin suede provides the perfect canvas for both pastel-toned colourways; one purple, and one pistachio, while wide mesh peeks through from underneath the panelling, in shades of either pink or cream. Underfoot, both pairs boast light-coloured sole units - these arrive in cream on the “Green” colourway, and (slightly confusingly) green on the “Purple” version. And, even though the sole unit was polarising at first, there’s no doubt it houses all the tech you need for a comfortable ride, with ABZORB and SBS cushioning resting underfoot.
As it stands, the Whitaker Group and New Balance are still yet to reveal a release date for their “Missing Pieces” 9060 collection, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated as more news comes in. In the meantime, you can set a release reminder for the pairs by hitting the ‘Notify me’ button below.
