New Balance 2002rd "Protection Pack" Sneakers

Primarily designed as casual footwear, the 2002R is a lifestyle runner suitable for everyday wear. Inspired by 2000s running aesthetics, it offers a blend of style and comfort. The ABZORB midsole, ABZORB SBS heel cushioning, and N-ergy shock-absorbing outsole with Stability Web technology provide superior support.

The 2002R's impact is undeniable, resonating deeply within streetwear culture. The deconstructed design, masterminded by Yue Wu, marked a pivotal moment in sneaker design. The 'Protection Pack' series has solidified New Balance's position as a trendsetter. Its innovative design and comfortable wear have established it as a highly coveted item.

The upper boasts a deconstructed design, featuring layered, raw-edged suede overlays atop a breathable mesh base. Cow leather and, in some iterations, durable ripstop nylon, enhance its construction. Signature elements include the iconic 'N' logo and the exposed foam tongue, all treated with a vintage midsole treatment.
