In addition to designing must-have collections, the famous BODEGA shop continues to treat us with some very attractive collabs. After bringing its touch to the legendary Clarks Wallabee last month, the Boston-based store reinterprets the innovative New Balance 9060.
Named « Age of Discovery », this exclusive version aims to honor the old and usher in the new. According to BODEGA legend, this collaborative NB 9060 is « a blend of yesterday’s artifacts and tomorrow’s vision in a today’s sneaker ».
Bodega was inspired by the design process of this recent New Balance model to create this reinterpretation. The groundbreaking style of the 9060 combines innovative and bold designs, with archival elements from the 990 line, the iconic ABZORB technology, details from the 991 and the N-ERGY sole from the 860v2.
This special NB 9060 sports a natural color palette, based on blue with touches of beige, grey and brown.
It fconsists of a mixed mesh upper with smooth suede, perforated suede and hairy suede. On one side of the foot, the iconic N logo appears in classic grey, and on the other side it’s defined by eggplant-colored embroidery details. This hue also stands out on the TPU upper eyelets. An additional touch of color is provided by a triangular and neon yellow tongue branding. To affirm the collab, the co-branding appears only on the insole. The whole is based on a white/cream/grey midsole equipped with ABZORB and SBS, and a gum outsole.
The pair will come with 3 sets of laces and in an exclusive box covered with an antique style « Renaissance » illustration.
The Bodega X New Balance 9060 « Age of Discovery » will be released on December 10, 2022 at noon (12pm EST), priced at $180 on Boston’s bdgastore.com on a first come, first served basis. Be ready and good luck !
