Saying that the 2002R has been one of the most popular silhouettes over the past couple of years would be a true understatement. Revived back in 2020, the retro-inspired model has taken the sneaker world completely by storm. If for whatever reason you still don't have a pair in your daily rotation, perhaps the all-new New Balance 2002R "Recycled Cork" Pack will change your mind. Taking the chunky shoe to another level, keep it locked to find out what we know so far.
Featuring three colorways, including "Ice Blue," "Grey," and "Beige," this collection totally elevates the 2002R's material construction. Working on top of a soft mesh base, smooth leather details make their way across the ankle and toebox, while the rest of the sneaker is outfitted in a buttery suede that's supple to the touch. Premium tan leather has also been introduced throughout the upper for an even more high-end look and feel, and all three pairs sit on top of crisp white ABZORB midsoles and creamy rubber outsoles for a refreshing aesthetic that will no doubt turn heads wherever you go, especially during the warmer seasons ahead.
What's there not to love about the New Balance 2002R Recycled Cork Pack? Expected to release in 2023, it will drop in men's sizes with a retail price of $150 each.
