Joe Freshgoods and New Balance link up once again, this time introducing a new silhouette from New Balance, the 9060. Only the best and cleanest must be paired with these kicks so make sure to check out StockX to put together A Perfect Fit.

Chicago artist and creative Joe Freshgoods has crafted some of the most sought-after New Balance collaborations to hit the sneaker market in the past few years, and the New Balance 9060 is no different. His partnership with New Balance began back in 2020 when he worked on a collection called “No Emotions Are Emotions” which showcased his first crack at the New Balance 992 and OMNI1. Even with the non-traditional name, sneakerheads fell head over heels for the footwear, with many waiting in line in the middle of brutal winter midwestern chills at Freshgoods’ Chicago pop-up for the coveted release. Since then, Joe Freshgoods has released a 990v3 in 2021 and this 9060 in 2022. The New Balance 9060 is a new model to the New Balance family, as its design “warps and exaggerates design elements taken from the classic 990 series with a boldly futuristic outlook,” says New Balance on their site. Inspired by nostalgic summer memories, the 9060 features warm tones of pink, red, and green throughout, making for a colorful release just in time for the season.

Aimé Leon Dore Crest Varsity Jacket Cream

April showers bring May flowers and this Aimé Leon Dore Crest Varsity Jacket. It’s the perfect transition piece for the tail end of spring and its cream color will complement the bright shades in the 9060s. This ALD jacket is made in collaboration with Golden Bear, a company that’s been around since 1922 perfecting the art of varsity jackets, ensuring that this jacket is crafted with the finest quality in mind. Quilted satin lining and a wool body make this jacket just the right outerwear piece for those chillier spring days.

Aries Column Sweatshirt Pink

Aries is one of the latest brands to hit the StockX catalog and is another great option for Joe Freshgoods’ 9060s. Aries was founded in 2010 by English-Italian born designer Sofia Prantera. Through bold and clever designs, as seen in this sweatshirt, Aries has evolved from a cult streetwear brand to one of the most desired labels in today’s high fashion scene. The Aries Column Sweatshirt sports a pink cotton base with screen-printed graphics in pastel purples and blues, fitting for the summery sneakers.

Fear of God Essentials Shorts Seafoam

For those looking to keep cool and stylish during the summer, Fear of God Essentials has you covered. These FOG shorts feature a Seafoam colorway that will bring out the hits of green in the Joe Freshgoods 9060s. Fear of God Essentials branding on the left corner leg and signature long drawstrings make these a streetwear staple.

Casio Vintage A168

Elevate your wrist game with the Casio Vintage A168. The A168 has been one of Casio’s most popular watches since the 70s and has helped classify Casio as a reliable horological brand. This vintage-inspired model adds gold-plating around the watch’s entirety, making for a flashy piece of wrist jewelry. And with a name like Casio, this watch is bound to remain in style for years to come.

Supreme Tiffany & Co. Box Logo Tee White

One of Supreme’s cleanest box logos to date is a solid choice when looking for the right tee to rock with these 9060s. Last year, Supreme partnered with Tiffany & Co. for the first time ever on a capsule collection of products, which included this special edition box logo. The box logo swapped its traditional red and white colors for Tiffany Blue in honor of the collaboration. The calming colors of the Tiffany Blue box logo make for a suitable summer color palette and a worthy match for these special kicks.
