The retro runner is modernized and reimagined in the New Balance 2002R Blue included in the 2022 Protection Pack. Navy suede overlays adorn the blue mesh base of the upper , which is characterized by jagged edges giving a worn unfinished look. Support and cushioning are provided by the ABZORB midsole with N-ergy cushioning in the heel. 2002R branding adorns the side collar and the signature "N" logo is located on the side panel.
