New Balance introduces a new tonal and design iteration of the classic 2002RX sneaker model that highlights a GORE-TEX coat throughout the upper to ensure that it is durable throughout any weather of the year. The colorway palette is dubbed Tobacco by the brand and it sees a variety of brown tones including dark chocolate, light cream, and wheat throughout the upper for a sleek new neutral look.
The shoes are seen paneling across the shoe and the dark chocolate makes up the base foundation of the shoe before wheat tonal suede touches are seen paneling on top of this for textural and tonal contrast. A small bright orange N can be seen along the toe box sections in addition to the N along the side.
