Breaking free from conventional norms, the WRPD Runner takes New Balance's quintessential lifestyle charm and injects it with a burst of innovation. The magic that unfolds? A sneaker that twists expectations, reshaping familiar elements into an exciting, modern design.
Charlotte Lee, the senior footwear designer at New Balance, shares her insights: "The WRPD Runner is a true embodiment of the intersection between style and performance. The upper showcases simplicity and craftsmanship, while the sole embraces the pinnacle of our running technology, FuelCell. The fluid lines of the foam intertwine with the abstract contours of futuristic design, capturing a sense of perpetual motion,"
The Innovative Sole-ution to Fresh Style
The upper nods to the iconic New Balance running vibes, giving a futuristic spin to retro chic with its oval flair. The midsole is a cosy haven with plush FuelCell tech, sporting stability, and cushioning that is just right for every stride. Not only that, the midsole is also accompanied by a crash pad at the heel for extravagant comfort.
The outsole, with its enthralling distorted layout, gracefully envelops the midsole. As for those treads, they are not just any treads; they are like a wave of uniqueness under your feet, making each step an adventure in style and comfort.
Set to hit the market on August 16, 2023, the much-anticipated "Sea Salt" edition will be available on NewBalance.com.my and select retail partners, with a suggested retail price of RM799 and additional captivating colourways that are set to debut in the forthcoming months.
