New Balance M2002RDQ

The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Sandstone is a sneaker inspired by the MR 2002. Combining an aesthetic from the early 2000s with durability, support, and comfort, this running shoe delivers. The upper of the Protection Pack Sandstone iteration is created using a mesh-like textile base overlaid with nubuck leather, providing both style and support. The fusion of these materials creates balance and breathability, offering comfort with every stride. The laces, tongue, and sock liner are all a creamy sand color to match the primary color throughout the upper. New Balance branding appears on the gray insoles and the gray tongue tag. What we love most about this shoe is the high-tech and high-performance capabilities of the sole unit. Stability Web technology provides arch support, while a midsole made from ABZORB, N-ergy, and ABZORB SBS in the heel offers cushioning and energy return. The gray rubber outsole enhances impact absorption and traction. The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Sandstone was released on September 21, 2023, for a retail price of $160.
