Recognized as one of New Balance’s most popular models, the 2002R has hit the streets in various reimagined designs. From the torn “Protection Pack” to AURALEE’s “Yellow beige” rendition, the model continues its trip to the top with a new in-line “Vibrant Apricot” colorway.

The sleek silhouette sees clean white leather overlays which dominate its outline, while the titular hue adorns breathable mesh toe boxes. Black leather trimmings accompany, while tones of “Royal Blue” mark the ankle areas, which mimic the gradient seen on the outer medial “N” logos stamped with NERGY branding.

The rears don New Balance markings traced with purple and yellow detailing, while the model number is promoted above the heel counters. Further branded touches displayed below the laces, on the tongues, and insoles complete the offering alongside ABZORB midsole and dual-colored bottoms.

The New Balance 2002R “Vibrant Apricot” is available now via New Balance and select retailers globally for $140 USD.
