9 New Balance 2002Rs you need to cop

New Balance 2002R is one of the hottest sneakers right now, and for the simple reason that it blends comfort and style perfectly. We’ve rounded up 9 of the best New Balance 2002R colorways you need to add to your rotation today.

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.
