As Paris Fashion Week unspools a treasure trove of fashion gems, AURALEE’s show makes waves by premiering an eagerly anticipated collaboration with New Balance. The Japanese label had the esteemed privilege of unveiling New Balance's latest brainchild - the Warped Runner - which made its runway debut, effortlessly meshing with AURALEE's Spring/Summer ’24 collection.
This collaborative effort marks the Warped Runner's grand entrance into the sneaker world, and true to the playbook for any new sneaker's debut, this collaboration is likely to be the precursor to a cascade of general releases.
Exuding an air of elegant simplicity, the AURALEE x New Balance Warped Runner is adorned in two understated colorways: a velvety cream and a suave black. The shoes' monochromatic scheme stretches from the midsole to every inch of the upper, with mesh bases layered beneath sumptuous suede overlays.
This isn't the first time we've seen the Warped Runner. A leak earlier this year had already whetted the appetites of many sneakerheads, but seeing them strut down the runway in collaboration with AURALEE has turned the anticipation up several notches.
As for when you can get your hands on these beauties, patience is key. Since the collaboration made its cameo during AURALEE's SS24 showcase, likely, the release is still some time away.
Stay tuned and keep your eyes peeled for further updates.
