New Balance Set to Release the 2002R in a Lemony Fresh “Sprite” Colour

Since stepping onto the scene in 2020, the New Balance 2002R has been striding its way into sneaker fame. By combining the OG 2002's timeless upper with the sole of the 860v2, New Balance basically said, "Why not have it all?" The result? A modern classic that’s crushing it in the casual comfort game; and it’s not hitting the brakes anytime soon.

Initially the centrepiece of the brand’s high profile collaborations, the 2002R has since found its stride as a staple in New Balance's lineup. It strikes the perfect balance for those seeking a retro runner with a nostalgic early 2000s aesthetic. Combined with the brand’s undeniable expertise in comfort, New Balance has mastered a formula that other footwear brands are striving to replicate.

A key factor in its success? The colorways. For late spring, New Balance introduces a fresh look inspired by the iconic Sprite can design of the mid 1990s to early 2000s. Vibrant shades of Green Apple and Limelight are paired with royal blue accents, all grounded by a neutral Grey Matter base, resulting in a stylish yet versatile sneaker.

You can find this new release at your local New Balance retailer for £130. It will also be available online soon at newbalance.com. Will you be snagging these when they drop?
