New Balance Dresses the 2002R in a Suede Colorway
Expressing a mix of “Rain Cloud/Prism Purple.”






Following its debut in an exclusive J.Crew drop in September of last year, the New Balance 2002RWA, dressed in “Rain Cloud” and “Prism Purple” hues, is now re-releasing via atmos.
The “2002” silhouette first appeared in 2010 as NB’s flagship Made in USA model, and was reintroduced in 2020 as the “2002R,” inheriting the original upper design with the addition of ABZORB and NERGY modern cushioning technology and subtle design touches.
The 2002RWA pairs arrive in a mesh base with stacked orange and coffee-toned suede overlays. Pops of blue and purple appear on the lateral “N” logo and heel while laces, tongue, and inner lining are found in dark grey. Below, an NERGY and ABZORB sole unit complete the versatile pairs.
The New Balance M2002RWA will release on February 18 at the atmos’ online store and physical stores for 17,600 JPY (approximately $152 USD). The online raffle is now accepting applications.
Elsewhere in footwear, Nike Air Force 1 Mid “Coconut Milk” surfaces in spring-friendly tones.
