A classic runner is ready to take on the elements. New Balance is set to release a new, all-weather edition of its popular 2002R, this time in a bold “Black/Yellow” colorway with a GORE-TEX lining. The release is a perfect fusion of the shoe’s retro-futuristic aesthetic with modern, waterproof technology, making it a highly anticipated drop for the fall and winter seasons.
The shoe’s design is a striking blend of utility and style. It features a black suede and mesh upper, providing a classic New Balance look, which is then accented by an eye-catching yellow on the toggle lacing, branding and the outsole. The GORE-TEX branding is subtly placed on the heel, a quiet nod to the shoe’s enhanced functionality. The colorway’s high-visibility yellow stands out against the dark upper, giving the shoe a bold, almost aggressive, aesthetic that is perfect for the colder, wetter months.
The New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX is a testament to the brand’s commitment to making its most cherished models more versatile. The GORE-TEX lining ensures that the shoe is not only stylish but also fully waterproof, a key detail for sneaker fans who don’t want to compromise on style during bad weather. The shoe is expected to be released later this year.
