Australian sneaker authenticator Hype DC is celebrating its 25th anniversary with an exclusive New Balance collaboration. With the “Native Dynamics” colorway, the New Balance 2002R pays homage to the ever-changing Australian landscape.

Boasting a color palette of natural tan hues combined with pink and blue, the shoe is crafted in premium suede and breathable mesh materials. Mostly constructed in the tan suede, the shoe’s details are highlighted in pink, including the “N” logo on the lateral as well as the overlays. The blue details are seen on the laces, heel, tongue tag, parts of the midsole and outsole. To highlight the 25th anniversary, the special branding can be seen on the heels. Three sets of laces will be available for personalization with a branding on the left aglet. The shoe sits atop an ABZORB midsole and N-ergy outsole for style and comfort.

The Hype DC x New Balance 2002R collaboration is only available on HYPE DC for $250 AUD beginning on October 20.
