Compression formed toe caps resist creasing
New Balance's modern-classic WRPD RUNNER gets an update with an upper made of leather instead of the usual suede we're more accustomed to seeing. This slight change along with a select use of split tones in the midsole helps to give the shoe a fresh look.
The organic forms work well with the FuelCell-equipped sole tooling, where a tall stack height makes for a bold look with function to back it up. As it turns out, what works in a marathon isn't half bad for casual wear either...
Variable lacing locks secure narrow and wide feet equally.
