The Features of the New Balance WRPD Runner

Released in late 2023, the New Balance WRPD Runner established itself as an undeniably modern sneaker, contrasting with the retro theme that had defined many of the brand’s previous collections.

From a visual standpoint, this new release was purposefully distinct, with designer Charlotte Lee having aimed to create something with futuristic undertones. Notably, the shoe’s upper (made from knit with a suede overlay) had a greater number of smooth lines. Even so, there were clear similarities to some of its retro predecessors: the collection boasted a chunky silhouette with a thick midsole, and of course, the signature ‘N’ logo made its return on the sidewall, clearly establishing the shoe as a member of the NB family.

In addition to being visually enticing, the NB WRPD Runner incorporates advanced technology, including a FuelCell sole unit, which provides improved cushioning in the midsole, enhancing your stride. The collection also features plush padding around the ankle collar, and the tread is made from rubber with wavy lines for greater traction.

Despite its performance benefits, the NB WRPD Runner isn’t considered a running shoe, but rather a style targeted toward everyday fashion enthusiasts. To guarantee its versatility and complementary aesthetic, Lee tested the sneaker alongside a variety of clothing items, so you can rest assured that this collection will become a staple of your outfit.
