NEW BALANCE 2002R 'BONE' & 'OLIVE'
When the shoemaker William J. Riley produced his first sneakers and insoles in Boston in 1906, he had one idea in mind: Give people with foot problems a perfect fitting shoe. So he called his products New Balance. Because his sneakers exceptionally considered the natural form of the human foot, they were soon worn by thousands of athletes all over the world. Today New Balance is the fourth largest sports brand of the world. It still stands for outstanding comfort and modern design.
In 2010, the New Balance 2002 was the pinnacle of performance running footwear. Ten years later, the sneaker returns with slight updates and in 2 new colorways, bone and green. Dubbed the 2002R, the sneaker features a style-conscious nubuck leather upper with mesh detailing, and a midsole that features both ABZORB and N-rgy cushioning technology perfect for everyday wear and neutral for any look.
