New Balance Serve Up a Subdued Summer Scheme on the 2002R

Poised to make waves this season, New Balance has lifted the lid on a new 2002R that perfectly embodies the laidback spirit of summer.

This new design serves up a cool, understated aesthetic with an infusion of baby blue mesh uppers and suede overlays in a beachy mix of beige and bone. The fresh, sea-and-sand color scheme of the 2002R is perfectly complemented by the cream accents adorning the midsole. Bright white leather underlays further widen the tonal spectrum, creating an exciting contrast reflecting the warmer months' vibrant energy. An exclamation point to the design is delivered via bold blues at the midfoot shank and heel, echoing the hues of the mesh upper and adding depth to the overall color palette. To round out the design, a subtle splash of earthy tan accents the heel and tongue logo, creating a fitting finale to this unique summer-ready silhouette.
