New Balance’s Retro-Futuristic WRPD Runner Chills Out In Icy Blue

New Balance may be pumping on all cylinders, but there are a few that have sputtered from the starting line. That would be the WRPD Runner silhouette, part of the brand’s new-meets-old design direction the skews a bit further towards the unseen via the super-aerodynamic midsole.

Despite launching to the public via collaborations with the likes of AURALEE, the WRPD Runner hasn’t quite a struck that perfect note among New Balance enthusiasts. The brand’s tech-runner offense has catapulted silhouettes such as the New Balance 1906R and 2002R to the forefront, while the continued success of the Nike Pairs Dusty Cactus Accents With A Panda Dunk Base keeps the brand’s sweet spot in the 1980s. Perhaps the WRPD Runner is just a bit too “out there” for it to truly catch the wave, but the Boston brand has been delivering great colorways typically seen in its 99X range.

Nevertheless, this newest in-line colorway of the model is available at select retailers such as Oneness and will arrive on newbalance.com shortly.

In other brand updates, the First Look At The Nike Sabrina 2 is ready for a wide release.
