The New Balance 2002R Rust Oxide merges a popular early 2000s aesthetic with advanced sneaker technology. This colorway features a dark orange mesh upper enhanced by suede overlays in various orange shades, with perforations for breathability. Brown leather accents on the toe box and heel add both style and support. The dark orange suede tongue and padded collar complement the plush sock liner. Gray leather detailing is visible on the side-panel "N" branding and heel. The shoe boasts a high-performance midsole and outsole. The sail and beige ABZORB midsole offers compression resistance and impact absorption, while the ABZORB SBS heel cushioning ensures comfort and stability. A black rubber outsole provides grip, complemented by the sail N-ergy for optimal impact absorption and beige Stability Web technology for arch support. The New Balance 2002R Rust Oxide was released on August 28, 2022, with a retail price of $120.
