New Balance unveils a new iteration of the signature 2002R sneaker model in a Nightwatch Green colorway palette. The highlight feature of the shoe is the pouch that is seen hanging from the laces secured by a small zipper to hold goods.
The sneaker is constructed from knit mesh at the base layer of the shoe and then detailed with leather trimming on top in a Sea Salt tone. The lining and profile logo is designed in a contrasting tone of dark green, which can also be seen applied to the fuzzy heel tabs. The aforementioned pouch over the forefoot can be removed as well and the shoe is rounded out by circular tongue motifs, tails, and ankles.
