the James Whitner-led company hasn’t shied away from executing its own collaborative projects. Its latest link-up is the first part of a multiyear journey with New Balance and is titled “Missing Pieces.”
Utilizing the 9060 silhouette, the duo has honed in on the youth’s potential to be the change they want to see in the world — “standing up for a vision of society, reality and the world around them that will only emerge through culturally-relevant conversation and their committed actions.”
Two colorways of the bulky design have been crafted — a “Silver Moss Green” and “Daydream Blue.” Each utilize a nubuck upper in their respective color arrangements as a loose-gauge mesh serves as the base in “Moonrock” and “Hazy Peach” respectively. Supporting the sneaker, both pairs favor a green midsole that is backed by a soft orange rubber outsole on the former and a black one on the latter.
A notable feature of these sneakers is the cushioning technology they incorporate, such as SBS and ABZORB cushioning. This technology offers users exceptional cushioning, responsiveness, and shock absorption, which translates to enhanced comfort and performance. This makes the upcoming sneakers the perfect pair for running, training, or engaging in other athletic activities.
The pair also has instantly recognizable “N” emblems on the sides. The 860-inspired diamond-pattern outsole further guarantees superior stability.
The New Balance 9060 sneakers have always been a popular choice among sneakerheads as well as fashionistas. These pairs are designed with a focus on both comfort and functionality. The upper is typically constructed from synthetic materials or mesh, providing breathability and lightweight support. This ensures that the feet stay comfortable and well-ventilated.

“Love the bold color combo on these kicks! The suede upper is so soft and luxe. I’m impressed by the unique sole designs – adds a fun touch to an already stylish shoe. Comfortable too! 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking to level up their sneaker game.”

“Got my Whitaker Group x New Balance 9060’s in Daydream Blue and I’m stoked! The colorway is exactly as shown, premium suede feels great. Shipping was super fast, got them in just 3 days after ordering. Overall, a solid collab that’s perfect for fall vibes. Only minor gripe is the price point – $130 seems steep for a sneaker. Still, I’d rep these kicks anytime!”
