Released as part of the ‘Protection Pack,’ the New Balance 2002R ‘Distressed’ sneakers bring a vintage feel to the modern lifestyle runner. The upper, made of a mix of textile and leather, is intentionally distressed with abrasions and scuff marks, giving it a weathered look that suggests extensive use. The worn-out edges further add to the overall aesthetic. The quarter panel features a tonal ‘N’ logo, while New Balance branding can be found on the cork insole. The ABZORB midsole ensures lightweight cushioning, while the gum rubber outsole provides excellent traction and support while walking.
