Michael Le BEAMS is something of a free agent, often bouncing between several of the footwear industry’s biggest names. And after crafting a set of adidas with Bodega, the Japanese conglomerate is back to collaborating with New Balance. This time around, the two are bringing their attention to the 2002R Mule, dressing the silhouette up in a crisp white colorway.
Much more understated relative to their prior efforts, the BEAMS x New Balance 2002R Mule seemingly draws inspiration from a different subset of workwear, specifically that of hospitality’s unsung heroes. A perfect fit for the uniform of upscale housekeepers, the shoe employs an all-white colorway, with touches of grey applied to both its sole as well as its various branded fixtures. A touch of orange rounds out the package, highlighting the grey insoles’ overlaid logo.
Enjoy a closer look at the BEAMS x New Balance 2002R Mule ahead. Pre-orders will be available starting May 12th ahead of the official May 27th release.
