Utilizing the popular <a href=”https://hypebeast.com/tags/new-balance-2002r”>New Balance 2002R</a> silhouette, the theme has found itself in a wide variety of colorways. Now, it goes back to its initial batch of grayscale colorways with a new black, gray and white look.</p><p>The popular mixed material sneaker begins with a black mesh that is exposed at the collar and towards the toe. Its next layer favors a suede presentation with a blend of gray and beige appearing at the heel cap and as overlays at the toe box. Following this, a dark gray suede joins the look alongside a black suede that serves as the final layer of the detailed upper. As for branding, the “N” logo combines the letter in black with a white outline while “2002R” text appears at the lateral’s heel. Pivoting to the sole unit, an ABZORB midsole balances off-white with brownish-gray while an N-ERGY outsole completes the look in black.</p><p>Release for the latest installment of New Balance’s “Protection Pack” for the 2002R is expected to take place in the coming months via <a href=”https://www.newbalance.com/”>New Balance</a> and select retailers at a price of $165 USD.</p><p>Enjoy a first look at the sneaker above and <a href=”https://hypebeast.com/2022/11/new-balance-2002r-steel-phantom-m2002rst-release-date”>for more in the footwear space from New Balance, the 2002R just dropped in “Steel” and “Phantom” colorways.</a></p><p><a href=”https://hypebeast.com/2022/11/new-balance-2002r-protection-pack-grayscale-release-info” title=”First Look at Another Grayscale New Balance 2002R "Protection Pack" Colorway” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Click here to view full gallery at HYPEBEAST</a></p><p> <a href=”http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?iu=/1015938/Hypebeast_RSS_300x250_Rectangle&sz=300×250&c=39973″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”> <img src=”http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ad?iu=/1015938/Hypebeast_RSS_300x250_Rectangle&sz=300×250&c=39973″ /> </a></p>
