For whatever reason, the overall shapes of your favorite retro silhouettes often end up different from the OG releases. Recent New Balance 6090 issues have been a bit round in the toes for those that have followed the brand for a while, despite keeping things at home with the Flimby production. Anyways, if you’re not feeling that shape and you want something more in tune with the flat-footed Oxford then check this quick re-shaping custom. All that it took was ripping open the toe box and doing a little bit of surgery and you’ve got a much more original Oxfording New Balance 6090 silhouette. See the transformation below and let us know if you prefer the “after” to the “before” here.
The New Balance 6090 comes with a bit of a rounded-off toe out of the box.

The synthetic pad between the mesh and the suede is apparently the primary cause of the rounder shape.
