New Balance 2002R - Black - UK 7.5

The ABZORB cushioning technology in the midsole provides superior shock absorption, helping to reduce the impact on your feet and joints during wear, contributing to overall comfort.

The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede and mesh materials, offering a balance of durability, support, and breathability.

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner sparingly and follow with brushing. Avoid soaking the suede in water.

While the 2002R offers excellent comfort and cushioning for daily wear and walking, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker rather than a dedicated running shoe. For high-impact running, consider specialized running footwear.

The New Balance 2002R Black Dark Grey White was released on February 20, 2022, with an original retail price of $150.

The 2002R series has been released in various colorways and material compositions, including leather options. This specific model features suede and mesh in a black, dark grey, and white combination.

It is recommended to consult New Balance's official size guide and consider trying the shoes on if possible, as sizing can vary slightly between models and individuals. Referencing the UK sizing provided (e.g., UK 7.5) is key.

Ensure you are walking with a neutral gait. Uneven wear can sometimes indicate an improper fit or gait pattern. Consult the care instructions for proper cleaning to remove debris that might cause uneven wear.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions carefully. Avoid using water excessively on suede.

The ABZORB cushioning is designed for durability, but extreme or prolonged heavy use may eventually reduce its effectiveness. Ensure the shoes fit correctly, as an improper fit can exacerbate perceived lack of cushioning. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
