Whether it be for better arch support or the most advanced sole unit technology, New Balance has been at the vanguard of footwear engineering in the last century. Their back catalogue has done much to garner them mass appeal in the status quo. Even if they were designs of old, one thing consistent with their shoes, no matter the epoch, is their comfort.

Thus, as they continue innovating, they introduce the upcoming Warped Runner. A new runner taking its design cues from their 990 family. This time, integrating it onto a brand new midsole. The upper remains clean with the mesh base layer overlaid with beige suede. Tonal renderings distinguish the different materials with the biggest contrast coming through the navy blue “N” imprint on the profiles.

Information is scant right now, with the only information available discerned from the images by @kicksdong. More details should emerge within the coming months that will expound the specifics of the brand new silhouette, as well as any release information. So stay tuned for that!
