New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Distressed - White - Suede - UK 5

It refers to a specific design aesthetic of the 2002R series where the shoe features a deconstructed look with exposed foam and layered materials, giving it a deliberately 'worn' or 'distressed' appearance.

While they offer good cushioning for everyday comfort, they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers and not for high-impact athletic activities like running.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully and avoiding excessive moisture.

Abzorb is a New Balance technology that provides excellent shock absorption, helping to reduce the impact on your feet and joints during wear.

While the rubber sole offers some traction, the suede and mesh materials are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.

The sneaker features a deconstructed upper made from a combination of mesh, suede, and leather.

This specific product description is for the white colorway. The 2002R series is available in various color options depending on the specific release.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consider a suede eraser or cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear with thin socks or consider a shoe stretcher for minor adjustments. Break-in period may help.

Check the rubber sole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If wear is significant, consider replacement.

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
