New Balance 2002R ‘Protection Pack’ Purple For Sale

Description

Led by designer Yue Wu, the original three-pair release reimagined the performance-informed New Balance sneaker as “wearable relics” once trapped in time. Premium pig suede, then, is “eroded” across a breathable mesh base, with the latter component donning a lighter shade of regal purple. Laces, branding at the top of the tongue, heel underlays and most of the midsole deviate from their surroundings in favor of a slightly-yellowed hue that further injects a vintage aesthetic into the 2002R. NERGY cushioning, however, delivers modern-day comfort.
