New Balance 2002R Protection Pack - Eclipse - Size 14

The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Eclipse combines elements of the New Balance 2002 and the 860 and lends an edgy design to the upper. Dressed in a stealthy colorway with hits of earth tones, this runner also has a bit of a trail shoe vibe. The Protection Pack Eclipse iteration of the New Balance 2002R features an upper with a base of black ripstop overlaid with layers of jagged dark blue and gray nubuck that give the upper both style and structure. The heel counter is black, laid over a goldish-tan ripstop with New Balance branding. Cord laces with a lock at the top complete the rough and ready look of this upper. What our experts appreciate most about this shoe is its high-performance sole unit. The midsole is constructed of ABZORB boosted with N-ergy, with absorbing SBS in the heel for enhanced cushioning. The black rubber outsole is ridged and lugged for traction and vented for midsole expansion. The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Eclipse was released on September 21, 2023, for $160 retail.
