FAQs

What is the primary cushioning technology in the New Balance 2002R?

The shoe features ABZORB cushioning in the midsole and N-ergy technology in the heel for enhanced shock absorption and comfort.

What does 'Protection Pack' refer to in the shoe's name?

The 'Protection Pack' series is characterized by its deconstructed aesthetic, featuring ragged-edged suede overlays and a predistressed midsole.

How do I clean the suede material on these trainers?

Gently brush off dirt with a soft brush or suede eraser. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid excessive moisture.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they offer excellent cushioning for walking and daily wear, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and not optimized for high-impact running.

When were these shoes first released?

The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack series, including this pink variant, was first released in September 2022.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Suede can be damaged by excessive water, and it's recommended to use a water repellent spray for light protection.

What is the fit like for the 2002R?

The 2002R generally offers a comfortable fit, often described as true to size. However, individual fit can vary based on foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Suede color transfer to socks

This can occur with new suede items. Wear darker socks initially or consider a suede sealant spray (test in an inconspicuous area first).

Uneven distressing on midsole or overlays

This is an intentional design feature of the 'Protection Pack' series, contributing to its unique aesthetic. Each pair may have slight variations.

Discomfort after initial wear

New shoes, especially those with cushioning technologies, may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.

Stiff laces

Laces can be softened by washing them separately or by using a fabric softener according to product instructions.

Care:

  2. Cleaning Midsoles and Outsoles: Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the midsole, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by a clean damp cloth.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, although test on an inconspicuous area first.
