New Balance unveils a new tonal iteration of the 2002r sneaker model for the season with the latest Rain Cloud colorway palette to join. It is packed with light neutral hues throughout the entire silhouette, delivering a brighter version for the season.
The shoe is made from a shaggy suede material overlaying on top and has the Rain Cloud color making up the heels, the toe tips, and the quarter sections. The laces and the N logo are designed in the Angora color for a bright touch of contrast. Notably, the same color is also used at the mesh base foundation as well. The lower heel section is detailed with perforations for some breathability and it is rounded out by the brand's N-ERGY cushioning base.
