Long before the “Protection Pack” hit the market back in August 2021, the archival New Balance 2002R saw a slow burn into the market. Retooled and reintroduced back in 2020, the silhouette has crisp, clean colorways like this New Balance 2002R “Aluminum” to thank for its early success — and now it’s coming back.
Clad entirely in creamy bone suede and mesh, the pair actually pulls its nickname from the spots of silver at the tongue and heel. It’s resting atop a light beige midsole, with it’s outsole anchored entirely in black rubber to round out the ultra-minimal colorway.
