The Drop
The New Balance 9060 Reflection Black (GS) brings the dad-shoe-meets-Y2K aesthetic to younger feet, pulling design DNA from the classic 990 series with a chunky, deconstructed twist. This all-black GS colorway leans into the model's signature warped lines and ABZORB cushioning, making it a versatile gateway sneaker for kids stepping into the resale game. It's New Balance doing what they do best—premium comfort without the hype tax.
Resell Verdict
Currently hovering around $93, with asks spanning $80–$108, this pair moves steady but won't make you rich. With 60 weekly orders, it's a reliable low-risk flip for volume sellers or a smart pickup for personal use just above retail. Resell is stable, not explosive—expect slow burn rather than spike. If you're sitting on stock, move it quick; if you're buying, negotiate closer to $80.
Fake Tells
- ▸Mesh density: Reps often use coarser, less layered mesh panels around the toe and midfoot
- ▸ABZORB branding: Check for crisp, centered printing on the midsole pods—fakes smudge or misalign
- ▸Box label: GS boxes should list GC9060RB; missing or swapped SKUs are red flags
Who It's For
Perfect for parents hunting a durable, stylish beater for their sneakerhead-in-training, or resellers flipping volume with minimal risk. Pairs well with everyday fits—school runs, skate parks, casual Samstag hangs.
Sizing & Fit
Runs true to size for kids' feet; New Balance GS sizing mirrors adult fit logic, so consult a youth conversion chart if buying for a teen.
