Graphite New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Phantom sneakers – suede, mesh and ACTEVA LITE
The 2002R is a modern take on running models from the 2000s, and the Protection Pack adds a raw, “worn” character: the edges of the suede overlays are frayed and distressed, as if the shoe had already seen more than one season. The Phantom version is a graphite, tonal grey with a grey sole.
Underfoot there is an ACTEVA LITE midsole, flexible and light, backed by an ABZORB SBS unit in the heel for stability and comfort. The N-ergy outsole absorbs shocks, and Stability Web supports the arch of the foot. The upper is made of suede and mesh.
