The New Balance 2002R Navy Castlerock features a premium upper constructed from mesh, shaggy suede, and leather in a dark-gray color scheme. The base of the sneaker showcases mesh in Castlerock, complemented by layers of premium leather and shaggy suede overlays in navy, Castlerock, and a darker-gray hue. The distinctive shaggy suede provides a more rugged aesthetic compared to traditional suede. While the padded tongue is made of mesh in Castelrock, the laces are presented in an off-white tone that harmonizes with the midsole. Engineered with ABSORB and ABSORBS SBS heel cushioning, this sneaker effectively protects against impact and ensures stability. The N-ergy sole works in conjunction with the midsole to absorb shock, enhancing overall performance. Our experts at StockX appreciate how the sneaker draws inspiration from New Balance's rich heritage, particularly incorporating technical silhouettes from the running shoes of the 2000s. The New Balance 2002R Navy Castlerock was launched on January 11, 2024, with a retail price of $160.
