Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 2002R Trainers are designed for adult males seeking a blend of retro running style and modern comfort. The key benefit is all-day wearability thanks to N-ergy cushioning, with a potential caveat being the material's sensitivity to harsh weather. This revival of a classic 2000s model features a layered suede and textile upper in brown and grey hues, an N-ergy midsole for responsive cushioning, and an Ndurance rubber outsole for durability. It offers a comfortable fit with a low padded collar and prominent branding.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While inspired by running designs, the 2002R trainers are primarily intended for lifestyle wear and offer comfortable cushioning for everyday activities, not high-intensity athletic performance.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for marks. For stubborn stains, use a suede cleaner, but avoid excessive water which can damage the material. Always let them air dry.

What is N-ergy cushioning?

N-ergy is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology designed to absorb shock and provide energy return, enhancing comfort during prolonged wear.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The suede and textile upper is not ideal for wet conditions. It is best to avoid wearing these trainers in rain or snow to protect the materials and maintain their appearance.

What does 'Protection Pack' signify?

'Protection Pack' refers to a specific collection of the 2002R model known for its deconstructed, layered aesthetic, featuring distinct material cut-outs and a rugged appeal.

What materials are used in the upper construction?

The upper is constructed from a combination of suede and textile materials, contributing to its layered look and premium feel.

How durable is the outsole?

The Ndurance rubber outsole is designed for durability, providing reliable traction and wear resistance for everyday use.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dirty or stained.

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, apply a suede cleaner and eraser according to product instructions. Avoid soaking the suede.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly snug, wearing them with thin socks for a short period may help them adapt. Consider using a shoe stretcher if persistent discomfort occurs.

Traction on the outsole seems reduced.

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.

Color fading on suede.

Store shoes away from direct sunlight and avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions. Use a suede protector spray to help maintain color.
