Introducing the New Balance WPRD
The New Balance WRPD Runner, launched in August 2023, marked a striking shift from the brand’s classic silhouettes, blending futuristic style with cutting-edge performance features.
Designed by senior designer Charlotte Lee, the WRPD showcases a sculpted FuelCell midsole engineered to deliver propulsion, energy return, and all-day comfort. Its upper merges breathable mesh with premium suede for a balance of refinement and durability.
The shoe’s defining element is its wavy, undercut outsole pattern, offering excellent grip while reinforcing its bold, avant-garde aesthetic.
