Vibrant Suede Lifestyle Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

New Balance Adds Options to the Good Vibes Pack with atmos

— June 10, 2022 — Lifestyle
New Balance introduces another iteration of the iconic 2002R sneaker model for the season done alongside atmos Japan to join the ongoing Good Vibes Pack for the season. The range is inspired by the collaborative New Balance 993 and Kawasaki project that made its original debut back in 2012.

The color palette is bright and continues with the same theme. This time around, the shoe has a construction that blends together mesh, full-grain leather, and premium suede materials. It is similar to the aforementioned 993 sneaker with a base foundation of a black layer that is then further accented with green overlaying accents and off-white details. It is now available online to shop at atmos Tokyo.
