The New Balance 9060 and New Balance 1906R may be the Boston brand’s best pieces of statement wear, pitch-perfect exemplars of Y2K trends and best-sellers on the back of that. However, the New Balance 2002R may still present the footwear giant’s best everyday silhouette, trending towards accessible, monochromatic or neutral executions rather than the more eccentric fare of its peers. If you’re looking to shape up your year-round rotation, look no further than the New Balance 2002R “Dark Moss,” as much of a fit for spring wardrobes as it is for fall.
While “Dark Moss” is most just the brand’s pantone for this shade of olive, it’s also a conceptual explanation of some of the details here. Chiefly at the tongue, where shaggy suede frays in every direction, genuinely giving a forested impression. More conventional accents take hold elsewhere on the shoe, with the mesh undercurrent and weaving leather overlays allowing this pair to stay grounded despite the eye-catching vegetative themes.
The New Balance 2002R “Dark Moss” is available now via NewBalance.com, retailing at $145 in men’s sizing. Use our KicksFinder widget just ahead for direct shopping links, or scroll further for a closer look via official images.
