The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack sneakers are engineered for daily wear, blending comfort with a distinctive style. The integrated ABZORB cushioning and N-ergy outsole technologies work synergistically to provide excellent impact absorption and responsive support. This makes them highly suitable for urban environments, casual outings, or extended periods of walking where comfort is paramount.
The breathable mesh upper ensures your feet remain comfortable, even during warmer conditions or prolonged use. The rough-cut suede paneling, a signature of the Protection Pack, not only adds to the shoe's unique visual appeal but also provides a layer of texture and durability. While these shoes draw inspiration from 2000s running silhouettes, their primary function is as a comfortable and stylish lifestyle sneaker, rather than for high-intensity athletic activities. They are perfect for individuals who appreciate a blend of heritage design, modern comfort technology, and a standout aesthetic in their footwear.

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:
Initial Protection: Consider applying a high-quality suede and textile protector spray before the first wear. This helps repel water and stains.
Regular Cleaning: For daily dirt and dust, use a soft-bristled brush (a dedicated suede brush is ideal) to gently brush off debris from both suede and mesh areas.
Spot Cleaning Suede: For specific stains on suede, use a specialized suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner applied with a clean cloth. Brush gently in one direction to lift the nap.
Cleaning Mesh/Textile: For the mesh and textile portions, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush. Gently scrub the affected areas, then wipe with a damp cloth to remove soap residue. Avoid saturating the material.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Never put your suede and textile shoes in a washing machine, as this can cause irreversible damage to the materials and construction.
