The 'Protection Pack' refers to the unique, deconstructed design aesthetic, characterized by rough-cut, layered suede panels that give the shoe an intentional, 'worn' or 'unfinished' look.
While the 2002R silhouette is inspired by 2000s running shoes and features advanced cushioning, these particular shoes are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual footwear. They are not recommended for high-performance athletic running.
For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Specialized suede cleaning kits are also available, but always test on a small, hidden area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
`ABZORB` is a blend of foam cushioning and compression set, designed to absorb impact and provide superior comfort. `N-ergy` is an advanced cushioning system in the outsole that offers exceptional shock absorption and a responsive feel underfoot.
These New Balance 2002R Protection Pack shoes are constructed from a combination of premium suede, breathable textile (mesh), and a durable synthetic sole.
The grey color is applied to various materials (suede, mesh) and in different textures due to the deconstructed design. While generally grey, slight variations in shade and appearance between materials and cuts are part of the intended aesthetic.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
While ABZORB and N-ergy offer lasting cushioning, consistent heavy use can compress materials. Consider replacing the insoles with fresh ones for renewed support and comfort. Also, check for proper lacing to ensure a secure, comfortable fit.
Gently clean mesh areas with a soft brush and a mild soap solution (like diluted laundry detergent). Avoid abrasive scrubbing. For wear, regular cleaning helps, but deep tears may require professional repair.
Ensure shoes are fully dry after each wear by allowing them to air out. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Remove powder before wearing.
Your New Balance 2002R Protection Pack shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to your preferred comfort level and you're set.
Proper care is essential to maintain the unique look and longevity of your New Balance 2002R Protection Pack shoes, especially given their suede and textile construction:
