New Balance’s hugely popular “9060” dad-sneaker returns in a clean new colorway: the U9060 2FD “White/Black,” launching on July 9, 2026 in Japan at ¥24,200 (tax incl.). Fusing the heritage design language of the 900 series with the technology and silhouette of the early-2000s “860” running shoe, the 9060 has become one of the most talked-about models around, thanks to its chunky, wavy sole and bold proportions. Here’s everything you need to know about the release date, price, design and how to buy.
Release date, price & key info
Here are the core details for the U9060 2FD “White/Black.” Ahead of the general release, select retailers such as BILLY’S ENT ran an early reservation window.
Design & colorway details
This release builds on a crisp white base accented with black. The suede-and-mesh upper is punctuated with black around the heel and the N-logo area, keeping the shoe from reading as a pure all-white make-up and giving it a sharper, more grounded look.
Along with the signature oversized N logo on the lateral side, an embroidered N logo sits on the medial side. The contrast between heritage detailing and the wavy, high-tech sole is exactly what gives the 9060 its distinctive presence.
What is the 9060?
The “9060” carries the DNA of New Balance’s celebrated 900 series while reworking the technology and silhouette of the early-2000s performance running shoe, the 860, into a modern package. Its wavy sole unit and voluminous form have made it a defining shoe of the current “dad sneaker” wave, earning fans both in Japan and overseas.
A well-cushioned midsole means it delivers comfort as well as visual impact. This White/Black colorway is one of the most versatile in the 9060 line, making it an easy recommendation for anyone picking up their first pair.
How to buy
The U9060 2FD “White/Black” will be available at the New Balance official online store, select shops such as UNITED ARROWS and BEAMS, and major e-commerce platforms including Rakuten, Yahoo! Shopping and Amazon (KICKS).
