Celebrating the essence of timeless design, New Balance continues its successful reintroduction of the 2002R model, further expanding the collection with four new renditions.
Launched earlier this month, these releases are characterized by their subtle elegance and cross-seasonal versatility. Demonstrating the brand's commitment to sophistication and subtlety, they are a testament to New Balance's legacy of crafting footwear that harmoniously fuses form and function.
Recognizing their discerning audience's attention to detail, New Balance has gone the extra mile to curate specific materials for this new release. A unique mesh is chosen for the toe box and ankle collar, boasting an appealing weave that ensures efficient ventilation and visual interest. Complementing the mesh is a thoughtful selection of suede that varies in texture across the sneaker. A fine grain is applied to the lower heel counter, while a contrasting texture graces the toe bumper and midfoot. Not to be overlooked, the upper also incorporates reflective material that enhances key areas such as the toe overlay, heel tab, and the iconic New Balance 'N' logo.
Colorway choices in these renditions serve as a nod to the brand's established aesthetic, offering familiarity with a twist. Classic combinations of grey on black and black on grey, signature to New Balance, are rearranged intriguingly, akin to a favorite recipe subtly transformed by different spice blends. In addition to these, the collection also brings more seasonally inspired options, reviving trendy elements like creamy tan accents and varying shades of taupe.
Enjoy a detailed look at all four color options below, and you can find these available now on New Balance US and Slam Jam; the "Magent" colorway is currently only available at the latter.
