FAQs

What makes the 'Protection Pack' series unique?

The 'Protection Pack' series is characterized by its deconstructed design, featuring ragged-edge overlays and an intentionally unfinished aesthetic, giving it a distinctive, edgy look.

What is the main cushioning technology used?

The shoe utilizes N-Ergy cushioning for shock absorption and ABZORB technology, particularly in the heel, for enhanced comfort and support.

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

While they offer good cushioning and support for general wear and light jogging, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and may not offer the specialized features required for high-performance running.

How do I maintain the suede material?

Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and avoid excessive moisture. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.

What is the color scheme of this particular model?

This model features a vibrant pink colorway, with secondary purple accents and touches of aged yellow on the heel and inner tongue, creating a multi-toned appearance.

When was this shoe originally released?

The New Balance 2002R 'Protection Pack Pink' was first released in September 2022.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather as moisture can damage the material and lead to staining or discoloration. They are best suited for dry conditions.

Troubleshooting

Color transfer from suede to socks

This can sometimes occur with new suede products. It's recommended to wear darker socks initially. If the issue persists, consider using a suede protector spray, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Uneven fit or discomfort

Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing them with the type of socks you typically use. Break-in periods may be necessary for suede shoes; wear them for short periods initially.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides or products.
