New Balance has established itself as a sneaker industry leader by fusing vintage styles with new blockbusters. They debuted the Warped Runner in 2023, a distinctive conceptual design with exaggerated dimensions and minimalist details.

The sneaker has been produced in a variety of bright colors, including a green and black variant in October. The "Dark Mushroom" model has a black mesh base, brown "N" emblems, shaggy suede overlays, and a sculpted sole unit in two distinct chocolate brown tints. The sneaker also has FuelCell foam and a medial stability post.
