New Balance 2002R Shoes in Black. Part of the brand’s on-going Protection Pack series and inspired by early 00’s runners, this New Balance 2002R is designed with distressed suede, lather and mesh uppers for a deconstructed aesthetic. Featuring an ACTEVA LITE midsole, ABZORB SBS heel cushioning and integrated N-ergy shock absorption, this black New Balance 2002R also features Stability Web outsole technology with a grippy, multi-directional underfoot tread. Exposed underlays honour the design’s worn-away looks, whilst perforated details provide increased airflow across the heel. Finished with a flat lacing system, ‘N’ side wall logos, ‘2002R’ lateral quarter detailing, an exposed foam tongue and with additional ‘NB’ branding displayed across each cut-through heel.

Established in 1906 and internationally recognised for their trackside, trail running and courts sports legacy, New Balance is a pioneering label known also for iconic styles such as the NB 550, 327 and 995. Pairing technical progression with an appreciation for innovation and comfort, New Balance is an explorative label supported also by their own influential transatlantic narrative.
