NEW BALANCE 'PROTECTION PACK' M2002RDC SEA SALT
First introduced by New Balance in 2010, the 2002 sneaker has gained traction for its retro style design, unique detailing and lightweight construction. The silhouette has been reimagined for this upcoming Fall '21 Season as part of the 'Protection Pack', designed with a deconstructed appearance. Debuting in this cream-toned 'Sea Salt' colorway, the highlight of the tonal sneaker are the textured suede panels which is layered with visually unfinished edging around the uppers, heel and tongue. Although the shoe seems simple in appearance, small coloured embellishments appear throughout the branding and outsole with touches of blue on the embroidered 'N' logo and rubber midsole as well as a dark pink N-ERGY logo on the top of the midsole. The classic 2002R sits near the heel in a red and blue two-tone colorway while a foam tongue can be seen on the inside of the shoe in yellow to match the heel underlays. A bright white rubber 'N' logo sits on each side panel outlined by a shiny thread embroidery. Completing the look is a weathered rubber sole which appears slightly off-white in color matching the tonal design. New Balance keeps comfort as key with their ABZORB and N-ERGY cushioning technologies to provide support made for wear.
