Don't call it retro though. A mesh and synthetic overlay upper construction is rendered with sleek curves and cutout segments for a futuristic take on a classic look. The performance of a Stability Web equipped and N-ergy shock absorbing outsole, ABZORB midsole and ABZORB SBS heel cushioning offer comfort and performance that can't be pinned down with a date.

The trainers are top quality! Nice fit, comfy & lovely style! I bought them for a present for my daughter & she's very happy! Bit expensive for my purse strings but my daughter thinks it's alright 😆 Very happy with the quick delivery too especially as I'm in London!

Sure, here's a sample shoe review:Title: Exceptional Comfort and Style - My Go-To SneakersI recently purchased a pair of New Balance 2002r, and I must say, they have exceeded my expectations in several ways.Comfort (5/5):From the moment I slipped into these shoes, I could feel the plush cushioning and arch support. Whether I'm on my feet all day or going for a long walk, these shoes provide the comfort I need. The insole is incredibly soft, making it feel like I'm walking on clouds.Fit (4/5):These shoes run true to size, but I found that they have a slightly snug fit. If you have wider feet, you might want to consider going up half a size.

They strike the perfect balance between comfort and style, making them my go-to choice for daily wear. While there might be minor room for improvement in fit and support, they are an excellent choice for anyone looking for stylish and comfortable sneakers. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Avid NB shoe collector, mostly MiUSA versions and a several other staples & collabs. This is my first pair of 2002s. For once with 2002s, I actually dig this colorway, so I made the plunge. Love when they switch away from the classic silver NB main logo patch - this black textured NB logo is the bees' knees. Fit just like the 1906s (same style sole) - True to size with most other NB styles. Quality and materials are solid; soft and buttery suede pieces, good textures.
Bought a pair for my toddler and my teenager daughter liked them so much she asked me to get her a pair as well. I want to get a pair for myself too. They are very comfortable and so cuteee. I don’t have worry about cleaning them . Dirt I hardly visible. Run true to size.
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'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!

Maybe it's just me but remember when back in the day you would get teased for wearing new balances? Well, I do but now not anymore. I have gotten so many compliments on these every time I wear them. I love that new balance is experimenting with some of the newer, fresher, and current sneaker designs. They are extremely comfortable which is shocking with most sneakers that are stylish. I definitely plan to buy another pair in the future. Great shoe.
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.
