The New Balance 2002R Sandstone combine a midsole with ENCAP technology and ABZORB cushioning, resulting in stability and responsiveness while walking. It’s not just vintage aesthetics: the technical construction is designed for everyday use.

What ENCAP offers

ENCAP provides heel support and reduces fatigue during long walks. If you move around the city a lot, you’ll notice the difference in comfort and control.

Why ABZORB matters

ABZORB foam absorbs impact and provides a soft, responsive feel, ideal for those seeking comfort without sacrificing retro style.

Materials and care: quality suede, leather, and mesh

The upper made from a blend of suede, leather, and mesh not only adds visual texture, but also improves breathability and durability. The fine stitching and well-integrated N logo are details that elevate the final result.

To maintain them, clean with a soft cloth and use products specifically for suede when necessary. Avoid soaking them to preserve the materials.
