Navy and grey New Balance 2002R Protection Pack sneakers – suede, mesh and ABZORB SBS
Navy with grey is a versatile 2002R colourway, and the Protection Pack finish gives it an edge. Distressed, frayed edges on the suede overlays make the shoe look “broken in” from day one. It is a darker, more subdued variant of the series.
Underfoot, the 2002R has a set of features from 2000s running shoes: ACTEVA LITE in the midsole, an ABZORB SBS unit in the heel for stability, an N-ergy sole that absorbs shocks, and Stability Web supporting the arch. The upper is made of suede and mesh.
