The New Balance 2002R Navy Castlerock features a luxurious upper constructed with mesh, shaggy suede, and leather in a dark-gray colorway. The base of the sneaker has mesh in Castlerock with premium leather and shaggy suede overlays in navy, Castlerock, and a darker-gray hue. The shaggy suede provides a more rugged look compared to traditional suede. The padded tongue is mesh in Castelrock, and the laces are an off-white tone that matches the midsole. With ABSORB and ABSORBS SBS heel cushioning, the sneaker offers impact protection and 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, with a retail price of $160.
