The New Balance 2002R has been one of the premier sneakers of late, receiving collaborations from A BATHING APE, Joe Freshgoods, and thisisneverthat, to name a few. While all of these collections were popular and helped cement the 2002R as one of the best sneakers currently available, the 2020 “Protection Pack” really kicked it off.

New Balance is teaming up with New York’s own Extra Butter to release the follow-up to the Protection Pack, the “Refined Future,” ahead of the broader North American release. The colorways, inspired by iconic New Balance colorways, are Dark Navy, Vintage Orange, and Mirage Grey.

Alongside the sneakers will be a curated release of apparel inspired by the Wabi Sabi aesthetic, including hoodies, shirts, pants, and hats. The colorways will be available exclusively at Extra Butter locations and online on September 29. The price is set at $160 each.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
