New Balance 2002R "Pastel Blue" Releases June 5

Although its heyday has come and gone, the New Balance 2002R continues to emerge in compelling styles.

Recently, the running-inspired retro surfaced in a "Pastel Blue" makeover. While not too dissimilar from other looks that've graced it, the latest take on the technical design features a number of pink accents throughout its build. The color palette, then, deviates from what's historically been associated with the Boston-based company.

Texted leather appears via the profile N logos, while textile base layers opt for a light blue woven presentation. Off-white components round out the package throughout the upper and tooling.

Enjoy official photos of the "Pastel Blue" 2002R ahead. Pairs are expected to release on Thursday, June 5, for $145.
