Product description

Three quiet colours in one object, lavender, pink and sage green. On paper the combination looks impossible, yet it works because all three share the same level of muting. Among the loveliest arrivals in New Balance 9060.

An unexpected trio

Conventional design says stop at two colours. This pair breaks that with three and succeeds, because it lowered the saturation of all three to the point where each behaves almost as a neutral.

Design philosophy

The sage sole is the element that makes the combination work. Without it, lavender and pink would read as an overly sweet pair, but the cool green pulls the sweetness out and restores balance.

Material quality and our inspection standard

During inspection we noticed the pink mesh is woven from two yarns, pink and beige, which is why it reads chalky rather than pure. The lavender suede also leans grey in shade, a blended dye considerably harder to execute than a pure one.

The acquisition experience

Quiet three colour releases arrive in limited numbers. Ask the concierge on WhatsApp to reserve your size before the shipment lands.

Styling

Keep the rest of the look white, pale grey or washed denim, and never add a fourth colour. For lavender alone there is the 9060 lavender grey, and for spring pastels New Balance 2002R. Everything is in New Balance.

Frequently asked

Is the lavender obvious or close to grey

Clear in daylight and leaning blue grey under indoor light.

What exactly is the sole colour

Sage green, a muted grey green close to the colour of sage leaves.

Do three colours make styling harder

No, because all are muted. Treat the shoe as a neutral and wear white or grey above it.

Is there a men version in this colour

Sizing is unisex, though this shade is mostly requested by women.
