New Balance is continuing to thrive in the footwear industry. Excelling at presenting mixed-material offerings, NB tends to merge minimalist designs which lean into overall versatility to be worn with most garment staples in your wardrobe. A key model backing this approach to footwear has been the 2002R silhouette. Now available in a slew of in-house colorways and collaborative projects, the 2002R continues to shine. With this in mind, a “Wheat” colorway comes with a new GORE-TEX construction. Covered in a flurry of earthy tones, a rich brown mesh layer has been used to set a foundation for the light cream forefoot overlays and the 2002R branded heel embellishment. Furthermore, the sneaker also includes a dark sock liner, while its surroundings include hues of dark grey and silver.

These are easily one of the most beautiful pair of shoes I own. I enjoy looking at them and they look great on feet. Super comfortable too. I can wear these in the office, on a quick mission downtown, at a nice dinner, or on the trails. Although I wouldn't go too hard on the trail in these.I'm curious about the outsole life and whether or not these can be re-soled. I'd imagine the tread on the outsole of these to go out after 50-75 miles, at which point the shoe won't look as nice. I'll definitely keep track.Ultimately, these are comfortable, gorgeous sneakers that can perform on any and all terrains. 10/10 all across the board.

I could comment about the comfort of the shoe, but that is to be expected from New Balance. I could talk about the materials, but that is also to be expected from New Balance. It's the silhouette that really got me. Very sleek and stylish shoe. A+

The shoe looks great and fits true to size. However, the pair I received had a defect in the stitching around the toe box on the right shoe. I returned the pair and ordered a second pair. The second pair also had the defect with the stitching around the toe box of the right shoe. The inside tags of the shoe seems to indicate they were manufactured at the same time/same factory. The second pair will also be returned. Not sure if I should order a 3rd pair. Not sure what is going on with quality control.

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.
I don't use these as running shoes, but casual street wear. They're comfortable, light, and very stylish. I usually buy the 2002r or the 990s so they're very similar in style, but the 2002r don't make your feet look as big. Highly recommend
I have many pairs of NB 2002's. They are comfortable, well made, and fit great. I highly recommend the 2002's as wonderful lifestyle shoes, for light workouts, and for walking. I'm much too old to run but they should perform well on the road as well.
Like everything about this shoe ( except the frontal area, a bit too much lift). My go to shoe ( 1540 v3, can't wait fir the V4 in May!). Bit more everything. Still, the 2000R next best thing and more colors and comfort!
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!

This shoe is so subtle, yet so stylish and wearable. The fit and comfort are wonderful. I have a wide foot so I half sized up and it fits perfectly. Super happy with this Christmas gift. I love the 2002rs and their color ways. This versatile yet subtle color way definitely did not disappoint.
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.
