The upper features mesh combined with suede and soft leather paneling. The "N" logo stands out against the side panel and comes in a grey tone that matches parts of the rubber outsole and the metallic detailing on the heel. Gel pods in the heel give the sneaker a futuristic aesthetic and propel the foot forward with each step.Our experts love the line etching across the side of the midsole. It creates the illusion of movement without overwhelming the upper design. The New Balance 2002R Pink Sand (GS) was released on June 27th, 2023, and retailed at $100.
