Introducing the New Balance 2002R 'Slate Grey' from the 'Protection Pack,' a lifestyle running shoe appearing in a neutral color scheme. An ABZORB midsole provides the foundation for the sneaker, with ABZORB SBS pods in the heel for enhanced impact protection and a comfortable stride. Breathable grey mesh combines with raw-edged tonal suede overlays on the upper, lending a distinctive distressed appearance. This unfinished feel extends to the tongue, with exposed foam on the interior side and featuring a 'New Balance Running' patch.
