New Balance's 2002R 'Protection Pack' offers a ruggedly built lifestyle silhouette with an experimental and abstract dynamic. The 'N' logos are a conventional element, surrounded by soft suede. N-ergy technology in the ABZORB midsoles ensures a cloud-like feel, while sturdy rubber adds toughness. The upper reveals techy mesh, hinting at its running-focused past. These men's shoes feature an ABZORB midsole for impact absorption, ABZORB SBS heel cushioning for stability and comfort, and N-ergy for superior shock absorption. Stability Web technology provides arch support. The suede and mesh upper has a lace-up closure for an adjustable fit, weighing 412 grams (14.5 oz). Inspired by the iconic MR2002, the 2002R men’s trainers offer a fresh take on early 2000s running aesthetics. The premium blend of hard-wearing suede and breathable mesh uppers strikes a balance between durability and lightweight comfort. Engineered for performance, the cushioned midsoles and advanced Stability Web technology provide exceptional arch support and shock absorption, ideal for everyday wear or exploring new terrain. The 2002R is built to keep you going in comfort and style. The Sea Salt textile upper features tonal jagged suede overlays and unfinished edges, with a cream Nrgy midsole and grey outsole completing the design. The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Sea Salt released in August of 2021 and retailed for $150.
