Joe Freshgoods has unveiled a new take on the popular New Balance 2002R silhouette as part of a larger “Conversations Amongst Us” pack that also includes a pair of new collaborative 550s featuring a similar cream finish.

The upcoming pairs arrive in a mix of smooth White mesh, suede, and fine-grain leather. Glossy cream hits appear on the 2002R branding on the lateral counter and toe box overlays, while hints of orange are featured along the tongue, seams, and mismatched “Conversations,” “Amongst Us” cutouts on the heel.

Oval tongue tabs come in light blue, and insoles incorporate an outline image of two figures in conversation. N-ERGY midsoles below are found in white, and semi-translucent orange cushioned outsoles complete the look.

Before the official reveal, Joe Freshgoods teased the inside of the shoebox which reads, “Designed and curated by Joseph Robinson and a team of Black associates at New Balance.” The New Balance team has also put together a “Conversations Amongst Us” campaign video starring Kawhi Leonard as, “a visual representation of an idea I (Joe Freshgoods) had about the dynamic of black men, nonverbal communication and the nonchalant head-nod.”

Take an official look at the Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 2002R “Conversations Amongst US” above, and expect the pairs to release this Spring.
