New Balance Presents a New Set to Join the Protection Pack
References: newbalance & hypebeast
New Balance introduces two new tonal colorways of the classic 2002R sneaker model to join its ever-growing Protection Pack. The shoes come in two schemes including navy blue and black -- both of these are designed identically to one another with the exception of the tone.
The main navy and black tones are reflectively highlighted along the shaggy suede material that accents the overlays. The rest of the shoe gets a lighter design along the mesh upper, adding some breathability and contrast. Both of the shoes are accented with white and grey accents to add more tonal contrast -- all of which sit on top of a white and beige midsole and black rubber outsole.
