The New Balance 2002R mule gets another update as a part of the Refined Future series, which is also known as the Protection Pack. The concept takes familiar silhouettes and gives them a more rugged deconstructed look. The 2002R mule is the latest to retrieve this treatment led by a great colorway palette.
The silhouette is detailed with a range of grey hues across the deconstructed base. It is free of a heel and shoelaces over the forefoot -- instead, it has a raw-edged suede fabric with mesh textures for a breathable feel. At the base foundation is the notable N-ERGY midsole with a slightly yellowed tinge to give it a worn-in look. Branded logos decorate the shoes with traditional badges to round it out.
