Released as part of the three-piece 'Protection Pack', the New Balance 2002R 'Rain Cloud' applies a greyscale finish to a refreshed iteration of the lifestyle runner. The breathable gray mesh upper is reinforced with raw-edged suede overlays, its uneven lines conveying the impression that the material had eroded over time. An exposed foam tongue accentuates the shoe's deconstructed aesthetic. A distressed ABZORB midsole provides lightweight cushioning, which is combined with an N-ergy outsole for enhanced impact protection.
