The performance running roots of the 2002R take center stage, in a design inspired by the original, 2010 MR2002. Shades of signature New Balance grey are applied throughout the silhouette's combination of technical sleekness and forward-thinking style. A diamond patterned, knit mesh upper is overlaid with leather in varying tones and textures, while an off-white ACTEVA LITE midsole offers a subtly weathered look and a touch of contrast. The M2002RVC also features a unique, functional addition, a detachable zip-closure mesh pouch, for storing small objects like keys and coins.
