Taken from the 2022 ‘Protection Pack,’ the New Balance 2002R ‘Blue’ delivers a tonal colorway of the retro-inspired lifestyle runner. The breathable blue mesh upper is fortified with a series of navy suede overlays, complete with tattered edges that give the shoe a dramatically distressed aesthetic. A molded ‘N’ logo adorns the quarter panel, while 2002R branding is stamped below the lateral collar. The sneaker rides on a two-tone ABZORB midsole with N-ergy cushioning in the heel.
