Premium Details Dress This Upcoming New Balance 2002R Pack

Since its reintroduction just a couple of years ago, the New Balance 2002R has quickly become a staple in any sneakerhead’s rotation. And, thanks to its immense popularity, the style is often treated to new finishes. While the model laid the groundwork for NB’s fan-fave protection pack, this latest trio is set to be treated to a slightly cleaner finish, with premium detailing in the form of cork and leather adding an elevated twist to the style.

Arriving in three spring-ready colourways, the pairs each see mixed-material constructions come saturated in muted tones, with tan leather tabs dressing the heels and vamps and slithers of cork peeking out from the spine. The rest of the shoes come crafted from breathable mesh, buttery suede and smooth leather, not deviating too far from the build that made the 2002R so popular in the first place. Underfoot, the models come equipped with their usual tech-heavy sole unit, with N-ergy and ABZORB cushioning giving the pairs a comfy underfoot feel.
