The New Balance Kids 9060 Trainers in Black are one of the most versatile kids' designer trainers on the site — available from EU 21.5 (UK 5 toddler) all the way to EU 38.5 (UK 5.5 junior/adult), covering babies, toddlers, primary school children, and teenagers in a single listing. The 9060 is New Balance's chunkiest, most fashion-forward silhouette — a thick, layered midsole with a deliberately retro-futuristic aesthetic that's become one of the most recognisable trainer shapes of the last few years.
The black colourway is the most practical and versatile option in the 9060 range — it works with virtually any outfit, doesn't show marks as readily as lighter colourways, and suits both boys and girls equally well. The slip-on construction (no laces) makes it easy for younger children to put on independently, while the chunky silhouette gives it a strong visual presence that older children and teenagers actively seek out.
Practical buying advice: Note the price steps up significantly across the size range — £70 for EU 21.5–27.5, £80 for EU 28–35, and £115 for EU 35.5–38.5. The larger sizes (EU 35.5+) are effectively adult-adjacent sizing, which explains the higher price point. The 9060 is also featured in the For Mom and Mini-Me collections, making it one of the few styles on the site where you can genuinely match across the full family. New Balance Kids generally runs true to size — check the foot length in the size guide, particularly for the toddler sizes where half-sizes matter more.
