Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack is designed for adult streetwear enthusiasts who prioritize a fusion of avant-garde aesthetics and daily comfort. Its defining characteristic is the deconstructed, jagged upper that provides a unique, raw visual appeal while maintaining the high-performance cushioning expected of the 2002R line. While these trainers excel in style and support, the complex suede paneling requires mindful cleaning to maintain its intentional distressed finish.

FAQs

Are the 2002R Protection Pack shoes true to size?

Yes, most users find that the 2002R series fits true to standard sizing.

Can I use these for running?

While they feature high-performance cushioning, they are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for casual wear and walking.

How do I protect the suede?

Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before your first wear.

What is the difference between Abzorb and N-ergy?

Abzorb focuses on impact absorption through compression, while N-ergy provides responsive, spring-like energy return.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the stock insoles can be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.

How should I store them to avoid discolouration?

Keep them in a dark, dry area, as prolonged exposure to UV light can fade the Navy and Grey hues.

Troubleshooting

Visible water spotting on suede

Allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature away from heat sources, then use a suede brush to restore the nap.

Debris lodged in jagged upper layers

Use a can of compressed air or a soft toothbrush to gently dislodge particles from the crevices.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive, fashion-forward design
  • Excellent long-distance cushioning
  • High-quality material construction
  • Breathable for all-day wear

Cons

  • Suede requires specialized care to prevent damage
  • Jagged edges can trap debris more easily than standard models
  • Limited availability due to premium series status

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature delicate suede and mesh components, proper care is essential. Do not machine wash, as this can degrade the suede texture and compromise the structural adhesives. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and suede panels. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a microfiber cloth, applying gentle pressure in a circular motion. To maintain the shape of the shoes when not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably with shoe trees or acid-free paper to absorb moisture. They fit true to size, but ensure you test your fit with the specific socks you intend to wear daily to account for the internal padding.
