The New Balance 2002R Navy Castlerock features a luxurious upper crafted from mesh, shaggy suede, and leather in a dark-gray colorway. The base of the sneaker utilizes mesh in Castlerock with overlays of premium leather and shaggy suede in navy, Castlerock, and a darker-gray hue, giving it a rugged aesthetic. The padded tongue is made of Castlerock mesh, while the off-white laces complement the midsole. Enhanced comfort and stability are provided by ABSORB and ABSORBS SBS heel cushioning, with the N-ergy sole working with the midsole to absorb shock. This sneaker draws inspiration from New Balance's rich catalog, particularly the technical running shoe silhouettes of the 2000s. The New Balance 2002R Navy Castlerock was released on January 11, 2024, with an original retail price of $160.
