New Balance has had one of the most impactful years in sneakers so far with a handful of popular collaborations and releases on deck. The famed 2002R is getting a rendition ready for whatever weather may come with its GORE-TEX upper. The 2002R features a mesh base flanked by weather-resistant GORE-TEX overlays.

The silhouette also features the distressed and pre-aged vibes New Balance has been leaning into lately with collections like the Protection Pack. The grey of the upper has a worn and faded aesthetic with faded blue accents throughout as well. A matching distressed rubber outsole completes the broken-in look. A release date for the New Balance 2002R GORE-Tex has yet to be announced but look for it to be released soon via New Balance and select retailers. A retail price of $180 has been set for the sneaker.

As always, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will have members ready for drop day.

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
