New Balance is ready for the Summer 2021 season with its new selection of 2002R Sneaker colorway options. The brand launches two new colorways of the iconic running shoes -- there is Yellow Lime or White and Orange. The vibrant options are not shy with bold hues making up most of the silhouette.
In terms of the construction, there is a predominant touch of mesh underlaying the foundation with leather making up the side overlays. The first of the two colorways is reminiscent of the previous "Limeade" with reflective details and lime green accents throughout. The details arrive in black at the rims and the midsoles are gray and white. The second colorway spotlights bright orange with muted teal detailing.
