Product Information

Full details

Featuring a distinctive layered aesthetic with premium suede overlays and breathable mesh, these trainers provide exceptional cushioning through integrated NERGY technology. While they excel in casual style and comfort, the suede construction requires careful maintenance to preserve the material's texture and color integrity over time.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede overlays and affect the structural integrity of the cushioning.

What is the NERGY technology?

NERGY is New Balance's proprietary midsole technology designed for high-performance impact absorption and energy return.

Do the shoes run true to size?

Most users find the 2002R series fits true to size, though the layered design may feel slightly more snug than traditional lightweight runners.

What should I do if the suede gets wet?

Pat the shoes dry with a clean, absorbent cloth and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Is this model suitable for running?

While it features performance-inspired technology, the 2002R is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for walking and daily wear, not as a dedicated long-distance running shoe.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on suede overlays

Use a dry suede brush or a specialized suede eraser to gently lift stains.

Creasing at the toe box

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Reduced cushioning feel

Check the insole for wear and replace with a standard performance orthotic if additional support is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 2002R trainers, proper care is essential.

  1. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt from the overlays. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture.
  2. Storage: Keep the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause color fading on the blue and purple tones.
  3. Moisture Protection: Applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray can help protect against minor spills and environmental exposure.
  4. Fit: These trainers are sized for adults. If you are between sizes, ensure you test the fit with your preferred thickness of socks to account for the structured heel and midfoot lockdown.
