The New Balance 2002R 'Green Apple' Might Not Keep Doctors Away, But that's Okay

Although the New Balance 2002R is a few years removed from its heyday, the retro running silhouette continues to deliver compelling looks for the lifestyle space. Case in point?: A new 'Linen/Green Apple/Sizzle' ensemble set to launch soon.

As with so many pairs prepped for autumn, the impending drop features an understated suede presentation across its performance-informed upper. Shades of a spring-friendly 'Green Apple' animate everything from the mesh base to the profile N logos, working in-tandem with a citrusy 'Sizzle' to breathe new life into the model. Underfoot, the same tooling found on the Aimé Leon Dore-approved New Balance 860v2 boasts the same color palette as the top-half, rounding out the latest modern offering from the heritage company.

Enjoy official photos of the New Balance 2002R 'Green Apple' below. Pairs will hit NewBalance.com at midnight (Eastern Time) on Saturday, March 1, for $145.
