Michael Le Ever since the return of the “Protection Pack” earlier this year, New Balance has quickly expanded on their selection of 2002Rs, delivering one compelling pair after another. And as we make our way into Summer, the silhouette is doing away with the deconstructed paneling, opting instead for a much cleaner “Dusty Orange” colorway.
In true NB fashion, this 2002R features both a light and dark shade of grey. The neutral pairing marks the “N” logo at the side as well as the mesh and leather construction across the toe and collar. Even the midsole incorporates the brand’s signature color, layering it alongside the cushioning and off-white midsole. Finally, the titular orange comes into play across the many suede panels, which mark the toe, profile, and tongue.
For a closer look at these 2002Rs, see below. Currently, they’re only available in limited sizes at the Up There Store in Australia, with the rest of the world sure to following very soon.
In other news, the Joe Freshgoods New Balance 90/60 is releasing in “Penny Cookie Pink” on May 20th.
