Where to Buy the JJJJound x New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX

JJJJound’s understated approach to elevated streetwear has garnered a loyal following despite not always catering to the loudest voices in the collaboration space. Known for their minimalist and refined design sensibilities, their partnerships, particularly with New Balance, have become highly coveted by sneaker enthusiasts.

Now, they're back with a winter-ready, all-black edition of the 2002R, a silhouette that has previously enjoyed success thanks to their shared history.

This latest collaboration is rooted in the same concept as their previous releases. It features durable GORE-TEX material, perfect for colder months, but with an elevated, sleek design.

The standout feature of this edition is its nearly all-black color scheme, a stark contrast to the February release, which had a lighter, more varied build. This version incorporates leather overlays instead of the typical suede and mesh, providing a more rigid, winter-ready construction. The pair’s minimalism is punctuated by blue accents on the ABZORB pods under the heel and the branding tab beneath the collar—subtle but striking details that enhance the overall aesthetic.

The JJJJound x New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX is set to drop on December 18th on JJJJounds website followed by a releases on NewBalance.com on December 20th, at 12PM ET
