Shoe Palace is reviving the spirit of the Special Make-Up (SMU) era with their new release of the New Balance 9060 in a striking “Cyber” colorway. This sneaker draws inspiration from the Y2K aesthetic, combining a futuristic black and silver palette that features reflective elements reminiscent of cyberpunk style. With a chunky runner silhouette, the shoe’s design includes a mesh underlay with reflective backing and distinctive striped overlays that catch the eye. Accents of muted green on the midsole add another layer to its bold look.
Set to release on March 28th, 2025, this SMU will be available exclusively at Shoe Palace both in-store and online. The shoe aligns with recent trends where retailers have begun to explore exclusive offerings outside of traditional collaborations, showcasing the classic yet contemporary design ethos of New Balance, which has gained immense popularity since the introduction of the 9060 model in 2023. As sneaker culture continues to evolve, it’s exciting to see brands like New Balance embracing their heritage while looking forward to the future.
