Notes: New Balance is weatherproofing its popular 2002R silhouette just in time for the rainy season with a new GORE-TEX-equipped “Black/White” colorway. Known for its collaborations and reliable in-house drops, the Boston-based brand outfits this version with a black mesh base, grey leather underlays and black suede overlays across the toe, quarter and heel. Crisp white accents highlight the iconic “N” logo and the GORE-TEX-branded heel window, offering nice contrast to the stealthy upper. Priced at $145 USD, the New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX “Black/White” will soon be available via New Balance’s official site and select retailers.
