New Balance Launches its newest In-Line Silhouette:WRPD

The WRPD Runner fuses lifestyle and performance, featuring FuelCell technology and futuristic design

Today, New Balance announces 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 nontraditional lines that are sculpted and exaggerated to give it a modern look + feel.

“The WRPD Runner is a new concept driven by unique space where style and performance meet, 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.

- Charlotte Lee , Senior designer at New Balance
