The New Balance WRPD Runner “Magnet” is a bold exploration of modern sneaker design, blending conceptual form with functional innovation. Released in early 2024 (UWRPDCST), the shoe sports a black knit foundation with “Magnet” grey suede overlays, enhanced by tan accents on the sockliner, laces, and dual-tone midsole. Powered by New Balance’s advanced FuelCell foam, it delivers a lively, comfortable ride, perched atop a warped rubber outsole that amplifies its architectural silhouette. As part of the WRPD Runner line—a radical departure from traditional New Balance retros—the Magnet exemplifies the brand’s willingness to embrace abstract aesthetics and futuristic proportion. Designed to stand apart rather than fit in, it invites a fresh perspective on styling while delivering standout comfort.
