Waterproof sneakers for the city and getaways

With a design inspired by the retro-running era, the New Balance 2002R Gore-Tex Marblehead Moon Shadow are ideal for those who want style without compromising functionality. The Gore-Tex membrane provides protection against light rain, while the nubuck and mesh construction maintains a premium look.

Gore-Tex and breathability: how do they work?

The key is the membrane: it repels water from the outside while allowing internal vapor to escape, keeping your feet dry and ventilated. If you value technology, the New Balance 2002R Gore-Tex Marblehead Moon Shadow combine performance with urban wear.

All-day comfort and cushioning

The midsole with advanced cushioning offers a smooth rebound and support with every step. If you work in the city, travel, or simply move through a week full of varied plans, you'll notice the difference in comfort from the very first wear.

Feel and materials

The nubuck panels provide structure, while the mesh ensures a flexible fit. The result: a sneaker that looks premium and feels comfortable.

Outsole and durability

The rubber outsole guarantees traction on wet surfaces and resistance to wear. Perfect for urban streets and walks in the park.

How to style them: outfits in earthy and gray tones

The Marblehead Moon Shadow color palette works with:

  • Casual look: tapered jeans, a white T-shirt, and an overshirt jacket.
  • Streetwear: neutral joggers and a lightweight parka for rainy days.
  • Smart casual: chinos and a short coat for a modern contrast.

These combinations highlight the understated elegance of the New Balance 2002R Gore-Tex Marblehead Moon Shadow and make them a must-have in your wardrobe.
