Militaristic Durable Lifestyle Shoes

N.HOOLYWOOD and INVINCIBLE Join Forces on the 2002R GORE-TEX

— August 26, 2022 — Lifestyle
N.HOOLYWOOD works in collaboration with both INVINCIBLE and New Balance on a new 2002R GORE-TEX sneaker model for the season. The new update of the signature shoe provides a durable construction throughout the silhouette and has a colorway detail that is inspired by militaristic elements.

The new sneaker is detailed with different hues of navy blue throughout the panels of the upper. It is made from breathable mesh materials at the base of the shoe and then marketed with quarter panel overlaps and toe tips in a dusty navy color. To add some textural contrast across the silhouette, the quarters, heels, and mudguards are made from a shaggy suede material in a saturated blue hue.
