Understated colourways are integral to New Balance. They always have been. And it’s the approach taken with these 2002Rs, too. A light shade of grey features across just about everything, including the premium pigskin suede and mesh uppers. There’s even a little pop worked into the, tech-filled sole unit — which is borrowed from the label’s 850 v2 — too.
