The New Balance 2002R “Calm Taupe” is Available Now
As the quest for the ultimate summer sneaker heats up, New Balance may have just ended the search with their latest release, the New Balance 2002R "Calm Taupe."
The "Calm Taupe" is characterized by its clean and understated design. Anchored in a sail mesh base, the sneaker is adorned with tonal overlays in the titular "Calm Taupe" shade, crafted from supple suede, adding a touch of luxury. The midsole, continuing the sail tint, features a striking beige-pink accent at the heel that offers a subtle pop of color, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
Underfoot, a charcoal rubber outsole provides durable traction and contrast, while the upper's branding is simple white, maintaining the sneaker's sleek and minimalistic appeal.
The New Balance 2002R "Calm Taupe" is available now on NewBalance.com for $145.
