The forward-thinking style of the 2002R is rooted in performance running. The technical, sleek design is inspired by a high-end 2010 model, the New Balance 2002R "Modern Tan" Men's Shoe. This premium execution of the 2002R exchanges the standard mesh underlay construction for perforated leather, with suede overlays adding an extra rich layer of detail. A light grey colorway, accented by deep pink, purple, and brown adds a depth of contrast, to a signature New Balance look.
