The New Balance 2002R Driftwood Sandstone features a multi-material upper that combines pigskin and textiles. An ABZORB midsole in white and Sandstone balances a foam-padded insole. An N-ergy outsole in Sandstone ties the sole together. A reflective N logo, 2002R, and N-ergy branding appear on the sides, tongue, rear, and toe wrap. Designed to be a lifestyle shoe, the 2002R is a refinement of previous 2002 generations. The mixed material upper remains, while the sole is adapted from the 860v2. Never straying far from its classic branding style, the 2002R offers signature N branding amidst a more futuristic aesthetic, due to its graceful curves and cutouts. Our experts feel that the best feature of the 2002R is its comfort combined with refined style, which looks great while being suitable for all day wear. The New Balance 2002R Driftwood Sandstone released on July 13, 2023, and retailed for $140.
