The Past And Present Converge On The Bodega x New Balance 9060 “Age of Discovery”

The New Balance 9060 has been a hit, from collabs with Joe Freshgoods to general release colorways, the exaggerated yet heritage-inspired sneaker continues to sell. And New Balance has teamed up with fellow New Englanders Bodega on their take on the sneaker, taking from previous collabs and blends yesterday’s artifacts and tomorrow’s vision into a sneaker of today.

The sneaker takes from Bodega’s previous collab on the 990v3, using earthy tones on the base of the sneaker with bright blue hits on the overlays and purple accenting throughout. Different size knitted meshes are placed throughout the sneaker with nubuck and hairy suede featured on overlays and tongue. A bright yellow is seen on the NB 9060 branding on the tongue with the lateral N logos seen in grey with the medial N seen in a striped look in purple. The exaggerated midsole features ABZORB and SBS cushioning in white, cream, and grey with a gum outsole finishing off the sneakers.

The Bodega x New Balance 9060 “Age of Discovery” is set to drop on December 10th via bdgastore.com and in-store at Bodega Boston and LA, with a wider release on newbalance.com and at select retailers on December 15th, retailing for $180.
