The New Balance 2002R has seen a resurgence in the last two years. The sneaker was first re-introduced to the public through collaborations with notable streetwear designers, Joe Freshgoods and Salehe Bembury. The way it merged 2000s dad-shoe aesthetics with a comfortable, premium construction, made it a hit as soon as it was unveiled. 

Even GR colorways fly off the shelves. Variants like the Protection Pack and Brown Grey Pouch were, for a period of time, incredibly hard to find. Earlier releases like the Rain Cloud and Phantom continue to resell for almost double the retail price today – a true testament to the popularity of the sneaker. 

The 2002R offers comfort and style. At its core, the sneaker was designed as a luxury lifestyle sneaker in 2010 that was constructed to offer all-day comfort. The arch support and ventilation it delivers is a match made in heaven.

How does the New Balance 2002R fit? The 2002R may not be suited for wide feet as the sneaker is a little narrow as compared to similar retro New Balance runners, like the 990v5, so it’s best to stick to your usual sneaker sizing. 

Thinking of getting a pair? We’ve scoured the internet to find the best New Balance 2002R releases you need to add to your rotation now.
