New Balance 2002R PS Steel

The popularity of the New Balance 2002R in recent years helped the Boston-based sportswear brand gain more reputation. Aside from new models, the brand re-released classics from a decade ago to keep up with the trend. Bring “dad shoe” aesthetics to the kids with this New Balance 2002R PS “Steel”.

Greyscale colourways define New Balance's straightforward and minimalist aesthetics. The dad shoe trend in the early 2010s showcased the brand’s “basic” sneakers. New Balance introduced the 2002 silhouette last 2010 as a premium running shoe entry. After disappearing for a decade, the brand relaunched the shoe with the reimagined 2002R silhouette in 2020. Various collaborations boosted the shoe in the sneaker landscape, making it one of the most popular pairs. The revamped model kept the same upper construction but replaced the midsole tooling with the New Balance 860v2. Mesh comprises the upper of the 2002R with leather and suede overlays. ABZORB cushioning makes up the midsole for maximum cushioning and impact protection. The New Balance 200R pre-school edition boasts a hook-and-loop strap with laces on the lower bottom for an adjustable fit.

This colourway features the signature greyscale makeover with a lightweight mesh base construction. N logos on the sides and New Balance branding on the tongue have a lighter shade to stand out. The sail white midsole and black N-ergy outsole complete this popular colourway.
