New Balance 2002R - Grey Black - UK 11.5

This model is a JD Sports exclusive, featuring a specific grey and black colorway and combining durable leather with breathable textile elements for a unique aesthetic and comfortable wear.

The New Balance 2002R is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While it offers good cushioning, it is not optimized for high-impact running compared to dedicated running shoes.

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a damp cloth with mild soap and water is recommended for both leather and textile. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing.

The midsole is composed of EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam, which provides lightweight cushioning and responsiveness.

The durable rubber outsole is designed to provide excellent grip and ensure longevity, offering stability and traction on various surfaces.

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.

The New Balance 2002R Grey Black JD Sports Exclusive was released on January 1, 2022, and originally retailed for $140.

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider the specific fit of the 2002R model; some users find it runs slightly large or small. Trying them on in-store or checking reviews for fit advice is recommended.

New trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure socks are appropriate for the shoe type.

For minor scuffs on leather, try a leather cleaner or a magic eraser gently. For textile areas, a damp cloth with mild soap should suffice. Protect shoes with a suitable spray if exposed to harsh conditions.

Minor separation can sometimes be addressed with specialized shoe adhesive, but significant damage may require professional repair or replacement. Contact customer support if the issue occurs shortly after purchase.
