The New Balance 2002R reintroduces a technical running favorite from the 2000s, outfitting the original design with modern performance upgrades. A synthetic upper construction is rendered with sleek curves and cutout segments for an updated take on a classic look. The performance of a Stability Web and N-ergy shock absorbing outsole stacked on an ABZORB midsole offer comfort and performance that can’t be pinned down with a date. A versatile sack hangs from the laces and features a small zipper to store your goodies. New Balance branding accompanies and decorates the circular tongue emblems, tails, and ankles.
