The New Balance 2002R Rust Oxide sneakers blend a popular early 2000s aesthetic with high-performance sneaker technology. The upper of the Rust Oxide colorway features a dark orange mesh base, accented by suede overlays in various shades of orange with perforations for breathability. Brown leather overlays on the toe box and heel add both style and support. The dark orange suede tongue complements the plush sock liner and padded collar. Gray leather details appear on the side-panel "N" branding and heel. The midsole and outsole offer superior performance, with a sail and beige ABZORB midsole providing excellent cushioning and impact absorption. The ABZORB SBS heel cushioning ensures comfort and stability, while the black rubber outsole offers optimal grip. The sail N-ergy technology delivers superior impact absorption, and the beige Stability Web technology supports the arch. Originally released on August 28, 2022, with a retail price of $120.
