Sporting one of New Balance’s more abstract designs, the New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Phantom deserves a place in your collection. The upper is crafted from smooth suede which is torn to reveal the breathable mesh that sits beneath. Its heel is detailed with a perforated panel for enhanced airflow, while the Boston-born brand’s famous N-ergy cushioning is added to the midsole for comfort, stability and bounce. New Balance’s instantly recognisable branding sits in its usual spot on the sidewalls, while 2002 is stitched just below the ankle to pay homage to this legendary silhouette.
