Dark and understated, the 2002R from New Balance arrives in a mix of black mesh and rich suede with woodland-inspired accents. The retro runner sits on an ABZORB midsole with N-ergy heel cushioning, delivering comfort that goes well beyond its archival looks. A segmented outsole enhances grip and flexibility, while the tonal palette gives the sneaker a rugged edge fit for both the street and the trail.
