Singapore, 21 August 2023 — New Balance has announced the release of its newest silhouette, the WRPD Runner, with the launch of the “Sea Salt” colourway.
The WRPD Runner pushes the boundaries of what a traditional New Balance lifestyle silhouette embodies, with an innovative design that distorts and warps the familiar. Where lifestyle meets tech-utility, the shoe is blended with non-traditional lines that are sculpted and exaggerated to give it a modern look and feel.
“The WRPD Runner is a new concept driven by the unique space where style and performance meet,” says Charlotte Lee, Senior Footwear Designer at New Balance.

“The upper has a refined focus on simplicity and quality, whilst the sole is a warped expression of our pinnacle running technology, FuelCell. The fluid lines of the foam are blended with the abstract nature of futuristic design, evoking a strong sense of movement.”

Upper includes nods to iconic New Balance running design with an oval shape as a futuristic interpretation of retro running models.
