The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Dark Moss is one of four colorways in the Protection Pack. Taking inspiration from New Balance’s MR2002 high-end running shoe from 2010, this silhouette is dressed in dark moss, grey, and black while sporting a peek of yellow coming from the back heel. Its innovative ripstop base layer is eye-catching and functional as it is waterproof. Comfort is top of mind as an ABZORB midsole and ABZORB SBS heel provides cushioning with every step. Branding hits can be found on the sides, top, and bottom of the tongue. Giving off an earthy autumn vibe, these sneakers come with toggle laces. Our experts think that the tech features in this shoe are what make it stand out. The Stability Web in the outsole provides arch support while a proprietary N-ergy outsole absorbs all shocks. The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Dark Moss debuted on September 21, 2023, and sold at a retail price of $160.
