The New Balance 2002R “Driftwood” is Now Available
With summer upon us, footwear brands are beginning to unveil their follow-up footwear collections for Fall; the New Balance 2002R "Driftwood" emerges as the perfect sneaker to round out your autumn wardrobe.
The design is distinguished by its bold black mesh base, which sets the stage for the overlays of supple suede and leather in the titular shade. This combination of textures and colors makes it an ideal choice for those looking to make a subtle yet impactful style statement this season.
Contrasting sharply with the darker tones, a crisp white midsole, accented with black and a light brown midfoot shank, enhances the shoe's aesthetic appeal. The same black and white scheme is echoed in the branding embellishments spread across the upper, tying the design together beautifully.
The New Balance 2002R "Driftwood" is now available from retailers JD Sports and Finish Line for $145.
