The JJJJound x New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX “Pine'” M2002RXY is a collaboration between the iconic sneaker company and the menswear design collective founded in Montreal by Justin R. Saunders. This sneaker features an upper with a rugged base of tightly woven black mesh, overlaid with thick mottled green suede strips at the toe cap, eyestays, quarter panel, collar, and heel. The signature side panel 'N' is in black leather with reflective detailing. Black rope laces and a black lace lock contribute to the rugged aesthetic. Dual branding appears on the black heel counter, with Gore-Tex branding above the debossed 2002R branding at the outer collar. The durable upper sits on a black ABZORB midsole with an SBS ABZORB unit in the heel for enhanced cushioning. A deeply lugged black rubber outsole provides multi-surface traction. A key feature is the Gore-Tex inner bootie designed to keep your feet dry. The New Balance 2002R Gore-Tex JJJJound Pine was released on February 15, 2024.
