FAQs
Are the New Balance 2002R 'Protection Pack' suitable for running?
While inspired by running shoe heritage and featuring cushioning technology, the 'Protection Pack' models are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle aesthetics. For serious running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the distressed areas of the trainers?
The distressed look is intentional. Clean the materials as usual (suede, mesh, leather). Avoid over-cleaning the distressed sections as it might alter the intended aesthetic.
What is the purpose of the N-ergy open foam tongue?
The N-ergy open foam tongue is part of the design for enhanced comfort, providing a cushioned feel around the ankle and midfoot area, while also contributing to the shoe's unique look.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers traction, the suede and mesh upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart for UK sizing. If possible, try the trainers on in person, as fit can vary between models and personal preference.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is a combination of mesh, suede, and leather, contributing to its layered and deconstructed appearance.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming discolored or stained
Use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush. For protection, apply a waterproofing spray before wearing and reapply periodically.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and wash them by hand with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Abzorb midsole is designed for durability, but cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider rotating with other footwear for longevity.
Sole traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.
