Matt Varga Though the Denver Nuggets and New Balance are his primary employers, Jamal Murray has been working on a relationship with Foot Locker in 2024, uniting with the retail giant for a “Blue Arrow” lifestyle collection earlier this year. With news of the New Balance TWO WXY v5, a silhouette he’s expected to sport on-court throughout the 24-25 NBA season, landing just a little while back, Kitchener’s finest is striking while the iron is hot with a two-pack of Foot Locker-exclusive New Balance WRPD Runner pairs.
To be clear, Murray’s appearance here speaks more to his status as a tentpole of New Balance’s roster of talent, rather than any say-so in these two shoes’ design. Nonetheless, the autumnal ‘fits he sports sets up the white & “Dolce” pair perfectly well, with the exaggerated, futuristic silhouette executing a vibrant yet tonal look.
In addition to the season-ready application, model shots showcase an additional “Grey Days” style colorway, delivering complementary notes of “Harbor Grey,” “Concrete” & “Sea Salt.” Though the WRPD Runner has been a collaborative canvas in the pas, this Foot Locker x New Balance link-up bridges the gap between special edition and general release, hitting on a perfect Fall note in the process.
The Foot Locker New Balance WRPD Runner collection drops October 1st. Though retail pricing isn’t confirmed, expect an MSRP in the $150 area.
