Two-Toned Purple Appears On The New Balance 2002R “Protection Pack”

Two-Toned Purple Appears On The New Balance 2002R “Protection Pack”

The New Balance 2002R “Refined Future” collection (better known as the “Protection Pack”) immediately sold out when it launched in August 2021. Perhaps to capitalize on the capsule’s popularity, the Boston-based brand has recently unveiled new styles from the collection, which include a two-toned purple option.

Led by designer Yue Wu, the original three-pair release reimagined the performance-informed New Balance sneaker as “wearable relics” once trapped in time. Premium pig suede, then, is “eroded” across a breathable mesh base, with the latter component donning a lighter shade of regal purple. Laces, branding at the top of the tongue, heel underlays and most of the midsole deviate from their surroundings in favor of a slightly-yellowed hue that further injects a vintage aesthetic into the 2002R. NERGY cushioning, however, delivers modern-day comfort.

No firm NewBalance.com launch date has been disclosed by the brand, but that’s likely to change as the second-half of 2022 inches closer. In the meantime, enjoy official images of the pair ahead.

Elsewhere under the “NB” banner, more New Balance 550 releases are in the works.
