Part of the 2022 'Protection Pack,' the New Balance 2002R 'Mirage Gray' is introduced with a neutral color scheme reminiscent of the renowned M1300JP design. This lifestyle running shoe boasts a slate-colored mesh upper featuring a light grey 'N' logo highlighted in blue. The distinctive element of the shoe lies in its grey suede overlays, which encompass the forefoot, quarter panel, and heel, displaying raw and frayed edges that contribute to a distinctively unpolished aesthetic. To enhance the shoe's overall appeal, a weathered finish is applied to both the ABZORB midsole and durable rubber outsole.
