New Balance steps into the Lunar New Year spirit with a bold take on the 9060 model. This “Snakeskin” edition draws inspiration from the “Year of the Snake,” offering a unique reptilian aesthetic. Although not officially part of New Balance’s 2025 Lunar New Year collection, it complements the celebratory season with a distinct design.

The sneaker features a cream-colored mesh base paired with suede snakeskin overlays, giving it a textured and exotic look. Dark grey accents add contrast, appearing on the signature New Balance logos and underlays. Cream laces, combined with a chunky and futuristic midsole in matching hues, maintain a clean and cohesive color palette. A black outsole completes the design, providing both durability and visual balance.

This 9060 model showcases New Balance’s ability to merge contemporary style with thematic storytelling. The bulbous midsole, a hallmark of the 9060 series, ensures superior comfort and modern appeal, making it a versatile choice for the season.

The New Balance 9060 “Snakeskin” is slated for release in late January 2025, just in time for Lunar New Year festivities. It will be available via select retailers and NewBalance.com for $150 USD.

With its striking design and cultural nod, this pair is a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts and collectors alike.
