Suede and mesh GORE-TEX upper. Waterproof. ABZORB midsole for cushioning and compression resistance. ABZORB SBS heel cushioning for added stability and comfort. N-ergy outsole for superior shock absorption. Stability web outsole technology for added arch support. Reflective N logos. Detachable zip pocket at lace-up closure. A remastered version of the 2002, the 2002R burst onto the scene in 2020 in celebration of the OG silhouette’s tenth anniversary. This isn’t a retro, though, per New Balance’s insistence — instead, the 2002R is outfitted with modern performance upgrades like a GORE-TEX upper that welcomes it to a new era. The mixed-material upper of the original 2002 is still in play, paired with the sole unit of the 860v2. Sleek curves and strategically placed cutouts give the 2002R a more futuristic look, while it retains classic New Balance details. A lifestyle shoe, the 2002R is equipped with the brand’s ABZORB cushioning in the midsole and N-ergy shock absorbing outsole for all-day wear. It may not be a running-specific shoe like the OG 2002, but the 2002R can more than handle rigorous use on a daily basis.

Hi ..I hope that whoever reads this mail will be fine..I ordered shoes from you and they arrived to me on April 26th.. but I want to make sure that the shoes are real because I doubt that because of the N-ergy side mark in the shoes.. I have I compared the shoes with the YouTube videos that provide a review of this type of shoe, but in the shoes that I ordered from you, I feel that the mark is not as clear as the one on YouTube .. and I’m afraid that my shoes are fake ):This is my order number 50096924-49996683

I use my shoes for fitness walking and my wife and I walk very quickly at least 3 times a day, averaging around 7 miles. I've worn NB 990s before, but since the price went up, and this particular shoe was on sale, I decided to try it. I have plantar fasciitis and routinely take out the useless insoles and replace them with Physix Gear insoles. This works better on some shoes than others. It works particularly well in the 608s, which have a shank, which provides good arch support. On these 2002s, they don't support quite as well, because there is no shank (I hate the Rollbar in some shoes, it hurts my feet), but the 2002s are more cushiony. I would put them just below the 990s in terms of comfort. They make good general use shoes with the insoles, but for fitness ... MoreI use my shoes for fitness walking and my wife and I walk very quickly at least 3 times a day, averaging around 7 miles.

I purchased these bad boys for my son, and he loves them, but he loves all of his New Balance kicks, so of course, he'd love these! They look nice and expensive. The only flaw is they fit well, lol; A little too snug.

I have been buying New Balance shoes for over thirty year and never regretted a purchase until now. They have always had a wide variety of shoes with a variety of technology built into the shoe. Unfortunately, when I searched the web site, I found a limited selection of shoes with technology. As for the 2002R, the shoe has a good amount of technology but it was missing a rollback. As I have been unsuccessful at getting a shoe from New Balance for the last four months, I decided to get the 2002R. I have found the shoe to be very uncomfortable and a lower level of quality. In the past, New Balance has lasted for a long time before the shoe shows signs of wear even after wearing them everyday. I.don't expect these shoes to last very long. After a few weeks, the shoe is ... MoreI have been buying New Balance shoes for over thirty year and never regretted a purchase until now.

After a few weeks, the shoe is already showing wear.I do not recommend.
This shoe is super comfortable. It has good cushioning and support. The fit is true to size. Shoe is well made with quality materials. It is also a very nice looking shoe. I've gotten a lot of compliments when wearing it. I would recommend this shoe and would definitely buy it in more colorways.
No flexibility, No arch support. Not comfortable. Wore for 1 day and can not return as per Bloomingdale's because they are not resalable. Literally 1 day and they look are not returnable. Not worth the money.
These shoes are really comfortable and I use it for everyday use. It's so comfortable I had to snag two pairs (black fig and grey) in different color ways. Don't hesitate and buy a pair of 2002R and you will not be disappointed!
I ordered these online as a birthday present for my boyfriend but the box came ripped and the shoes had obviously been worn before, the bottoms were dirty, there was a few scuff, and it was missing an insole. I’m really upset that I spent this much money on them to arrive like this. I’m pretty disappointed, if I’m paying new price, I should be getting them new.
I suffer from severe foot and ankle swelling due to high blood pressure, and this is the first sneaker in years that I didn't have issues with. I wear them to work daily and they are super comfortable. A really nicely constructed sneaker. And, the material is holding up very well after two months of constant pounding.
I love the styling possibilities of this shoe. They are comfortable, with quality materials, and a well thought out color palette. I am glad they were labeled as year of the rabbit because that is the thing that nudged me to cop. Favorite pair of shoes I have
