The New Balance 2002R Mule “Phantom” is a modified version of the retro running sneaker that changes its design into a mule silhouette. The New Balance 2002R debuted with the help of contemporary artist Bryant Giles before it was released in more readily available colorways, like the “Phantom. ” The colorway features a dark grey mesh base with tonal suede and grey leather overlays. A grey “N” logo appears on both sides. The 2002R Mule’s open heel allows for easy wearability.
