New Balance 2002R Slate Grey Dark Silver Metallic — The luxury no one wanted, until everyone wanted it
The original 2002 was released in 2010 from the Made in USA line with a clear idea: to create a luxury running shoe, more an object of desire than a sports tool. It cost $250 and was a commercial failure. At the end of 2020, New Balance Japan —led by Tetsuya Shono— revived it as the 2002R, replacing the midsole with that of the 860v2 and adding ABZORB and N-ergy. This time it worked: today it is one of the decade’s most influential silhouettes. Slate Grey with metallic silver is its classic colorway.
The 2002R — Grey, layers and technical shine
The upper combines technical mesh, suede and synthetic reinforcements in a layered construction that provides structure without weight. Slate Grey dominates the design, while Dark Silver Metallic appears on the side N and details, with the restrained shine that defines the model. The midsole retains the generous volume inherited from the 860v2.
Materials and technology
- Upper: Breathable mesh with Slate Grey suede panels and a metallic silver side N
- Interior: Textile lining; padded collar and tongue; removable cushioned insole
- Outsole: Segmented rubber; midsole inherited from the 860v2 with ABZORB cushioning in the heel and N-ergy in the forefoot
