New Balance unveils a new iteration of the 2002R sneaker model made in collaboration with Randomevent and UNIK this season. The clean iteration is spotlighted by its glowing details that bring awareness to the wearer in dark environments. Each style is made using a different set of materials, starting off with a leather construction at one with a slightly neon green touch.
Another iteration showcases a standard mesh and suede blend for more casual aesthetics offered in a black colorway. This is also detailed with slight neon green accents -- the first one also boasts reflective elements and the second iteration lights up. Both of the options feature co-branded details at the tongue and insoles, sitting on a silver ABZORB heel cushion.
