FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature advanced cushioning technology, the 2002R Protection Pack is designed primarily as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker rather than a dedicated performance running shoe.
How do I ensure I get the right fit?
New Balance 2002R models generally follow standard UK sizing. If you have wider feet, you may prefer a half-size larger to accommodate the structured upper.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and compromise the integrity of the adhesive used in the jagged construction. Stick to manual spot cleaning.
What is the difference between Abzorb and N-ergy technologies?
Abzorb provides primary cushioning and shock absorption in the midsole, while N-ergy is integrated into the outsole to provide added responsiveness and energy return.
Does the blue colour bleed when wet?
Suede can be sensitive to moisture. It is highly recommended to keep the shoes dry to prevent potential colour bleeding and material staining.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dull
Use a soft-bristle suede brush in a circular motion to lift the nap of the material and restore its texture.
Difficulty cleaning between the jagged layers
Use a clean, dry toothbrush to reach into the crevices of the deconstructed overlays without damaging the suede.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Fitting: These trainers typically fit true to size, but the structured upper may feel snug initially before breaking in.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the blue and grey dyes from fading.
Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt from the jagged panels. Avoid full submersion in water; use a damp cloth and mild soap for spot cleaning the mesh areas.
Protection: Consider applying a suede-safe water repellent spray before initial wear to protect against light stains and moisture.
