The thisisneverthat x New Balance 2002R ‘The 2022 Downtown Run’ reunites the partner brands on the retro-inspired lifestyle runner. Similar to the Korean label’s dual 2002R colorways from 2020, this pair features a neutral palette, highlighted by a grey mesh upper with tonal nubuck overlays. Navy leather detailing provides contrasting hits of color, while cracked grey leather on the collar and tongue amplify the shoe’s aged aesthetic. The sneaker is mounted on an N-ergy midsole with ABZORB SBS cushioning in the heel.
