When they were introduced in 2010, the New Balance 2002 was a high-tech running shoe. Skip forward a decade-plus, and the 2002R lies safely in the athleisure/casual realm. It retains many features of the original, including a suede and mesh upper, an Abzorb midsole for added cushioning, and an N-ergy outsole that provides long-lasting traction. The low-key, easily-adaptable taupe colorway rounds out the offering.
