The MR2002 was launched in 2010 as the ninth generation of the 1000 series, and when it was conceived in 2008, the goal was explicit: to design a silhouette with a luxurious character, something people would choose as a refined fashion piece rather than sports footwear. It was the first model in a long time to use genuine leather again. In 2020, Tetsuya Shono, product line manager at New Balance Japan, reworked it into the 2002R: the original upper paired with the sole of the 860v2.
The profile combines technical mesh with leather and suede overlays, a structured heel counter, and the lateral N. In this colorway, Castlerock—a cool, dark gray—dominates the design, while Dark Shoreline Blue appears on the panels and details as a deep blue that adds depth without disrupting the understated look.
The 2002R is the silhouette that brought New Balance into the realm of discreet luxury. At Next Step, we offer it 100% new and authentic. With a 14-calendar-day return period from receipt. Fast shipping to Spain and throughout Europe.
The dark gray with deep blue pairs well with black, navy, denim, and smart-casual tailoring. Discover more models in our New Balance collection at Next Step.
