New Balance 2002R Release Dates

The New Balance 2002R is a reworked model of Andrew Nyssen’s New Balance 2002 from 2010. The 2010 model initially released for a whopping $250— the lack of sales led to the model being taken off shelves and put in the archives. New Balance transformed the previous 2002 model into the 2002R by fusing the 2002’s upper with the gel-based New Balance 860v2 outsole. With the retail price almost cut in half ($130), the New Balance 2002R is enjoying a new lease on life. Read more about the New Balance 2002R here.

The New Balance 2002R is a re-imagined version of the original 2002 model, released as part of the brand's top-tier running line in 2010. Initially sold as a high-performance running shoe with a premium price tag, the 2002R has been repositioned as a lifestyle sneaker.

Constructed with a blend of high-quality materials, the 2002R features a sleek mesh base with premium leather overlays. It also boasts ABZORB and N-ERGY cushioning in the midsole, ensuring superior comfort and support. It's released in numerous colorways, with the "Rain Cloud" and "Sea Salt" being particularly noteworthy.

The 2002R has also been part of significant collaborations with popular brands and designers such as Salehe Bembury and Invincible, generating buzz and reaffirming its place in the lifestyle category.

The New Balance 2002R successfully combines comfort, quality, and style, making it a great addition to any sneaker rotation. The shoe generally retails for around $130, but prices for collaborative pieces and certain colorways may vary. Find your perfect pair of New Balance 2002Rs today!
