Matt Varga There are plenty of brands in New Balance’s rolodex, but none do it quite like BANDIER. The two partners last landed under our spotlight in 2021, but their work has been metronome-like in the past few years, consistently cooking up new takes on New Balance models far and wide in lifestyle-minded palettes. The latest silhouette to enter their shared canon is the New Balance 2002R, carried by off-white notes of “Sea Salt.”
True to mainline releases, the BANDIER 2002R largely relies on neutral, tonal shading, engulfed in lively eggshell & grey notes. Additional life is added by the rose coloring that outlines the N logo in embroidered fashion, before sliding onto ABZORB pockets on the midsole. To close out, the gum sole underfoot leads to some bottom-to-top contrast, and taken alongside the off-white notes and soft pink accenting, creates a faux Neapolitan colorway.
The BANDIER New Balance 2002R is available now in women’s sizing (W5.5 – W11.5.) Retail is set at $145; hit the link under “Where To Buy” to land directly on the product page.
