The New Balance 2002R ‘Navy Castlerock’ features a sophisticated blend of deep navy blue and greyish tones, offering a versatile and stylish aesthetic. The sneaker boasts a premium upper constructed with mesh, shaggy suede, and leather. The base is made of Castlerock mesh, complemented by overlays of premium leather and shaggy suede in navy, Castlerock, and a darker grey. The shaggy suede adds a more rugged texture compared to traditional suede. The padded tongue is also crafted from Castlerock mesh, while the laces are an off-white colour that matches the midsole. For comfort and stability, the sneaker incorporates ABSORB and ABSORBS SBS heel cushioning to protect against impact. The N-ergy sole works in tandem with the midsole to absorb shock. This design draws inspiration from New Balance's heritage running shoe silhouettes from the 2000s. The New Balance 2002R Navy Castlerock was released on January 11, 2024, with an original retail price of $160.
