Just in time for the warmer seasons, New Balance introduces a new black tonal iteration of the 2002R sneaker to join its Hiking pack. It is rooted in its deep hues as it is adorned with dark purple and green as the contrasting details throughout the rugged silhouette.
The hiking sneakers are made from an elevated suede along with breathable mesh and premium leather throughout the upper. Details can be seen in the form of the silver metal eyelets and the functional Toe Protect reinforcement that is incorporated at the top of the sneaker. It also sits on top of the blend of NERGY technology midsole that continues with the same black, purple, and green tonal palette.
