I bought this 1 month ago but the side fabric has already torn from the inside due to my little finger always being in contact. I don´t know how much time it will last until it tear completely. It runs a little bit small so my fingers are all tight and together and this causes friction in the fabric. I would recommend going a size up so this doesn´t happen. But overall it is a nice shoe.

I've always worn a 10.5 in all New Balance sneakers. This shoe is very narrow and seems to run small. If you have wide feet I would recommend going up a half size.The color is a very light shade of blue, in some lights it appears gray. More often than not it is light blue.

Perfect fit~!! perfect material with perfect shade of color. Needless to say they are super comfortable. These are my new go-to sneakers right now. matches all of my outfits and comfortable. the Suede is high quality. I have many other models like 990 v2,v3 v4, v5, 993 but these are most versatile model I feel like. very nice color and material and price point. I am so happy with my purchase.

I wear 2002's for walking and casual wear, no running at my age. These are really nice looking shoes, they are comfortable, and they are reasonably priced. Fit to size even for my size 14 feet. These shoes have been made in a variety of styles and colors making them very desirable choices for anyone looking for the right pair of lifestyle shoes. Overall, I am very pleased with the 2002's that I have purchased.
I'm admittedly late to the New Balance party, lol! Although I had a pair in the early 2000s, I haven't had a pair since. I knew NB has been on fire as of recent times, so I decided to try a pair. What I remember from back in the day was that they're SUPER comfy, and these 2002Rs definitely are! And they're great looking as well! I actually took them on vacation recently, and they definitely passed the test! I logged tons of miles in them while playing tourist, and my feet felt pretty great! These are very cushioned, and also have great support! I have the black/grey/white pair, and I swapped the black laces for grey ones. They really pop, and I got tons of compliments on them! All in all, these shoes are amazing, and I definitely recommend them! I actually just ... MoreI'm admittedly late to the New Balance party, lol!

Bought this a month ago, BAsed on current tredns this is an ice middle groud between a cream and black shoe. It goes well with light and dark coloured outfits. the shoe holds up in keeping its structured look as well as providing exceptional comfort. can be hard to keep the off white sections clean based on the material.
I love my sneakers. The color is beautiful. They're very comfortable. When I received them they looked like they had been worn. I had to exchange them anyway because I got them a little too big. But for the price I paid they should never come looking worn or used. Besides that they're my new favorite sneakers.
I use them for work. So, everyday wear. The shoe has a modern/retro look. Which is cool, they're lite, and somewhat comfortable. The only thing I don't like about them is that they're not a little more comfortable. Overall I like the shoe. And I plan on buying in different colors.
