New Balance's 2002R Just Released With Clean "Atlas/Lemon Haze" Makeover
Doesn’t get more “dad shoe” than this.



Already with a strong list of collaborations under its belt, the New Balance 2002R is fully back on the radar of lifestyle sneaker lovers across the globe. As of late, the silhouette has instead zeroed in on further extending catalog of general releases, and that has just been updated with a fresh “Atlas/Lemon Haze” offering.
Based off a first glance at these kicks, its palette carries heavy “dad shoe” vibes, and sports color schemes similar to one of the offerings of thisisneverthat’s New Balance 2002R collection which launched back in October 2020.
On these street-ready kicks, white overlays take up a majority of the space, and come paired with mesh layers below that are tinted with a “Lemon Haze” to formulate the meat of the base. Stark black trim is called upon to decorate the sock liners, borders of the side “N” logos and heel panels as well as the branded hits throughout the upper. Clinging onto the backside is a reflective panel which by nature proffers more greyscale offset through its silver outer.
More “Lemon Haze” pigments hug the midsole’s backdrop, while the tail end shows off more black notes within its exposed cushioning.
If you’re looking to beef up your lifestyle rotation this season, these are available now via New Balance for $140 USD.
In case you missed out, more New Balance 327 colorways have been unveiled.
