Shortly following Joe Freshgoods’ “Conversations Amongst Us” colorway, New Balance returns with another fresh take on the 2002R silhouette for the warmer months ahead. New Balance’s 2002R has quickly become one of the brand’s flagship silhouettes alongside the classic 550, pushed forwards by collaborations with the likes of Bryant Giles, AURALEE, BAPE, and Salehe Bembury.The upcoming iteration arrives predominately in “Light Cream” hues found across the mesh uppers with “Purple” suede panels and “N” logos over top. Perforated brown overlays decorate the heel counter, and faded blue accents appear along the collars and pill-shaped tongue tab. Rounding out the design are cream-colored N-ERGY midsoles with the same eggplant purple hues highlighting the heel cushioning.Expect the New Balance 2002R “Light Cream/Purple” to arrive in the coming weeks via New Balance’s website and select retailers for $140 USD.Elsewhere in footwear, the Nike Air Force 1 Mid receives a “Panda” makeover.Click here to view full gallery at HYPEBEAST
