The New Balance 2002R “Protection Pack” is proof that sneakers don’t always need collaborative backing. And as a result of the collection’s overwhelming popularity, the footwear brand is further expanding upon the catalog in 2023.
Joined by several 1906Rs, the newest installment in the 2002R’s “Protection Pack” is more of the same. Though the colorways themselves are new, the design has been around for the past two years, iterated upon with both chromatic and achromatic hues alike. Here, these upcoming pairs lean much closer to the latter: one relies heavily on a single shade of grey, distinguishing itself from New Balance’s usual, while its counterpart complements said neutral with a range of navy-colored details.
For a closer look at what’s in store for the “Protection Pack,” see below. A release date has not yet been revealed, but it’s likely more info will surface soon.
