New Balance 2002R “Metallic Silver” Shines at the Perfect Time

With Marvel’s Fantastic Four now hitting cinemas, New Balance couldn’t have timed this release any better. The upcoming 2002R “Metallic Silver” looks ripped straight from the Silver Surfer’s cosmic wardrobe, arriving just in time to ride the wave of silver-themed nostalgia.

This iteration of the 2002R features a fully metallic silver upper constructed from leather and mesh, staying true to the tech-runner roots of the silhouette while introducing a high-shine look. Tonal overlays and reflective finishes deliver that unmistakable futuristic edge, while the black sole unit adds bold contrast beneath the feet. Familiar ENCAP and N-ergy cushioning tech ensure it’s more than just a style piece.

There’s no official release date yet for the New Balance 2002R “Metallic Silver,” but pairs are expected to arrive this Fall.
