The women’s exclusive model takes strong inspiration from pointe shoes, and follows in the footsteps of Nike’s own ballet-inspired Air Rift iterations.The debut “Hyper Royal” colorway is built with varying leather uppers in two, wavy hues of blue — the darker shade lands on the bottom half of the silhouette, while the lighter option takes the top half. Branding is minimal, save for the small Jumpman on the ankle and strap tab, and the Jordan-stamped insoles. The shoe rests on an arched midsole and outsole in complementing blues, while the Velcro strap across the midfoot ensures a snug fit. Blue satin ribbons looped around hidden eyestays tie it together for a final, elegant touch.

Name: New Balance 2002R “Brown/Black”Colorway: Brown/Black/SilverSKU: U2002RABMSRP: $145 USDRelease Date: Spring 2026Where to Buy: New BalanceNew Balance continues to expand its popular 2002R lineup for 2026, this time introducing an earthy palette reminiscent of some of its most iconic collaborations. The upcoming release brings the aesthetic of previous JJJJound projects—specifically the 990v3 in 2022 and the 993 in 2025—to a general release model, allowing fans to revisit those sought-after colorways through a more accessible silhouette.Aligning with the minimalist approach of the Montreal design studio, the silhouette features a moody blend of brown suede and lighter brown mesh overlays paired with deep black underlays. This combination, anchored by a sleek black sole unit, immediately evokes the refined aesthetic found in high-end JJJJound x New Balance collaborations. However, this 2002R carves out its own identity with reflective silver accents on the “N” logo and heel, providing a sharp contrast to the otherwise darkened upper.Bridging the gap between high-end collaborations and mainline staples, this release offers a stealthy, versatile profile with a distinct fall-ready palette. Look for this iteration to arrive in Spring 2026.
