We wouldn’t go as far as to call it retail fodder, but as we’ve noted countless times before, the New Balance 2002R is closer to that than a hyped proposition, a status it enjoyed around its “Protection Pack” prime. Even if the demand has dipped a bit, the same comfort and easy stylability remain with the rejuvenated model.

It’s only right, then, that for its latest look, the New Balance 2002R doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. Core white and grey, a reliable New Balance formula they’ve relied on for decades and one that they’ve only leaned further into with the yearly “Grey Day” activations, are the clear influence here. It’s hard to go wrong aesthetically, and with the ABZORB comfort that propels catalog peers like the 1906R and 860v2, you’ll know that these will hold up to daily wear.

The New Balance 2002R is expected to hit shelves in September, retailing for $145.
