FAQs

What type of leather is used in the New Balance 2002R 'Grey Black' M2002RC1?

The sneaker features a premium leather construction, offering both durability and a refined look.

Are these sneakers suitable for running or intense sports?

While comfortable for walking and casual wear, the 2002R series is primarily designed as a lifestyle and retro-inspired sneaker. For intense athletic activities, specialized sports footwear is recommended.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner, and always test on an inconspicuous area first.

What does 'JD Exclusive' mean?

It signifies that this specific colorway and model were released exclusively through JD Sports, making it a unique offering.

Can these sneakers be worn in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it is not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.

What sizes are available?

This model is available in various adult UK men's sizes. Please refer to the product listing for the specific size range.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from soles

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Walk in them a few times, or try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole if accessible.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Discoloration of leather

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate leather cleaners and conditioners.
