Experience forward-thinking design with the New Balance 2002R in Navy Castlerock. These shoes are inspired by high-performance running shoes and feature a comfortable ABZORB midsole and a springy Nergy outsole, perfect for any daily activity. The 2002R draws inspiration from NB's 2010 MR2002 runner, offering a refreshed and versatile street style. Classic lines, suede overlays, and mesh accents showcase signature NB details, pairing seamlessly with your modern wardrobe. ABZORB technology in the midsole and heel ensures flexible comfort, while the modern pod look in the rear and the springy Nergy outsole provide durable traction and shock absorption. NB's Stability Web technology also offers arch support. The upper is inspired by running shoe designs from the 2000s. ABZORB midsole absorbs impact with cushioning and compression resistance. The suede and mesh upper is complemented by Stability Web outsole technology for added arch support. The Nergy outsole provides superior shock absorption, and ABZORB SBS heel cushioning delivers additional stability and comfort. An adjustable lace closure allows for a customized fit. The 'Navy Castlerock' colorway features a deep navy blue mixed with greyish tones for a stylish and versatile look. The construction includes mesh, shaggy suede, and leather in dark-gray hues. The base mesh is in Castlerock, with layers of premium leather and shaggy suede overlays in navy, Castlerock, and a darker-gray shade. The shaggy suede gives the sneaker a more rugged appearance than traditional suede. The padded tongue is crafted from mesh in Castlerock, and the laces are off-white, matching the midsole. Thanks to the ABSORB and ABSORBS SBS heel cushioning, the sneaker protects against impact and offers stability. The N-ergy sole works with the midsole to absorb shock. This sneaker draws inspiration from New Balance’s catalog, including technical silhouettes from the 2000s running shoes. The New Balance 2002R Navy Castlerock was released on January 11, 2024.
