As a new year dawns, we’re beginning to set expectations on what New Balance will have in store for 2025. New faces like the New Balance 740 and New Balance xc72 5 will likely play a significant role, but we’ve seen no sign of slowing down for more well-established models either. The New Balance 9060 will assuredly maintain its status as a premier lifestyle shoe for another year running, and a murdered-out “Black Cat” edition is the perfect way to start things off.
Though this shoe likely isn’t drawing direct inspiration from the Boston brand’s competition, the prevalence of nocturnal shoes that’s continuing with the New Balance 1701 and Sostenible New balance Mitjons Dralong High Performance No Show makes this a shrewd, trendy play on NB’s part. It’s hard to mess up an Wei like this where jet black takes over the shoe nearly heel-to-toe. Still, the silhouette’s composition assists in keeping this application interesting, from it the reflective underpinnings at the quarter or select translucent hits on the sculpted midsole and tongue.
Expect the New Balance 9060 “Black Cat” landing on NewBalance.com and partnering Skateers as we get into the Spring 2025 slate. The usual $150 Skate price is all but confirmed.
