New Balance M2002REL

The New Balance 2002R Navy Castlerock boasts a luxurious upper construction with mesh, shaggy suede, and leather in a dark-gray colorway. The base features mesh in Castlerock with layers of premium leather and shaggy suede overlays in navy, Castlerock, and a darker-gray hue. The shaggy suede gives the sneaker a more rugged look than can be achieved with traditional suede. Although the padded tongue is crafted from mesh in Castlerock, the laces come in an off-white tone that matches the midsole. Thanks to the Absorb and Absorb SBS heel cushioning, the sneaker protects against impact and offers stability. Rounding out the technical specs, the N-ergy sole works with the midsole and absorbs shock. Our experts like that the sneaker draws inspiration from New Balance’s catalog, including the technical silhouettes from the running shoes of the 2000s. The New Balance 2002R Navy Castlerock was released on January 11, 2024, and sold for $160.
