New Balance continues to grow its 2002R sneaker model options with another Protection Pack colorway to join its roster this season. It retains the overall shape of the sneaker and is detailed with deconstructed elements at the overlaying accents across the shoe, continuing to the tongue section and inner foam area.
The sneaker is designed with lilac hues this time around for a dusty finish. It has mesh underlying at the base of the shoe and then accented with shaggy suede on top that can be seen along the heels, the toe tips, and the midfoot section. This is then joined by hues of gray that add a touch of contrast to the throat, lower heel, toe box, and quarters.
