Laced up for prosperity

Picture this—it’s the first day of Chinese New Year, full of family reunions, celebrations, and non-stop festivities.

That’s where New Balance steps in, offering shoes that seamlessly blend style and performance. These aren’t just your average kicks—they’re shoes that complete your look while boosting your confidence. Ready to start the celebrations on the right foot?

WRPD Runner


The WRPD Runner breaks from New Balance’s retro flair, showcasing a cutting-edge design. The combination of suede and mesh with a minimalist knit upper creates a chunky look that feels balanced—bold enough to stand out, yet subtle enough not to overwhelm the eye. What’s more, this sneaker is powered by a FuelCell midsole, delivering responsive energy with every step.

The 1906R is a timeless choice that effortlessly complements any wardrobe. It comes in a harbour grey colourway, which is perfect for year-round wear. Similar to the 2002R and 860v2, this model is built with a durable sole featuring Ndurance for grip, N-ergy for shock absorption and Abzorb SBS pods for cushioning. The upper design is equally high-tech, with breathable open-holed mesh and curvilinear synthetic overlays that lend it a dynamic, layered appearance.

If it’s time to say goodbye to your worn-out black shoes, make the 1000 your next pick. Though originally released in 1999, its futuristic design and streamlined shape still feel refreshingly contemporary. The mesh upper provides optimal ventilation to keep your feet comfortable throughout the day, while the Stability Web midfoot shank offers stability, improving balance and foot control. Plus, with its easy-to-care-for black finish, these shoes remain looking fresh, no matter how often you wear them.
