FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the New Balance 2002R series generally fits true to size for most adult users.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the delicate suede material and weaken the adhesives used in the construction.

What is the primary difference between the 2002R and the Protection Pack?

The Protection Pack features a unique, deconstructed 'jagged' cut to the suede overlays, providing a more rugged and layered appearance than the standard 2002R.

Are these suitable for running?

While they feature advanced cushioning technology, these are classified as lifestyle trainers meant for daily wear rather than high-performance running.

How do I clean the mesh panels?

Use a soft-bristled brush with a small amount of water and mild soap, dabbing lightly to avoid pushing dirt deeper into the fabric.

Do they provide good arch support?

Yes, the Abzorb midsole is known for providing substantial arch support and comfort for daily activity.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or dirt on suede surfaces

Use a dry suede brush to gently stroke the nap of the material in one direction.

Minor scuffs on the midsole

Use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent to wipe the affected area of the sole.

Creasing in the toe box area

Use shoe trees when the sneakers are not in use to help maintain the original structure and minimize permanent creasing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality suede construction for durability
  • Excellent comfort due to Abzorb and N-ergy technologies
  • Unique, iconic jagged design aesthetic
  • Breathable construction suitable for all-day wear
  • Versatile colorway that pairs well with denim and techwear

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to water and stains
  • Deconstructed edges may fray over time if not handled carefully
  • Limited availability compared to standard 2002R models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed for immediate wear right out of the box. To maintain the integrity of the high-quality suede and mesh materials, it is recommended to apply a protective suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first use. If the shoes become dirty, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt from the jagged layers. For deep cleaning, use a mild foam cleaner applied with a soft-bristled brush, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals that could discolor the Navy and Grey dyes.
