FAQs
What is the primary material of the New Balance 2002R 'Black'?
The sneaker features a combination of charcoal mesh, black leather, and suede overlays.
Is this sneaker suitable for athletic performance?
While designed for comfort, the 2002R 'Black' is primarily a lifestyle sneaker and may not offer the specialized support needed for intense athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a soft suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, applied carefully.
Can these sneakers be worn in wet weather?

Troubleshooting
Suede appearing matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, a dedicated suede cleaner can be applied sparingly with a clean cloth, followed by brushing.
Leather scuffs or marks
Gently wipe the affected area with a clean, slightly damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or cream matching the shoe's color might be used.
Sole losing grip
Ensure the rubber sole is clean of mud or debris. If wear is significant, professional shoe repair might be an option, though typically soles are not replaced on fashion sneakers.
Shoe shape deteriorating
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and heat. Use shoe trees when storing to help maintain the shoe's form.
