New Balance To Reissue The 2002 Later This Month

With a collaborative version already on their way, New Balance is giving extra love to the 2002 model with a reissue of the classic runner. Now known as the New Balance 2002R, the shoe will debut the show with two versatile, grey-toned colorways.

The “R” in 2002R stands for “Racing” and the reissue makes sure to place a larger emphasis on the model’s ergonomic and stylish features. Emblazoned just below the lateral portion of the mesh ankle collar is embroidered “2002R” branding with the lettering done in hyper-stylized, red embroidery to contrast with the understated digits done in white and black. New Balance’s proprietary ABZORB + N-ergy midsoles are equipped on both colorways and serve as the base for the shoe’s suede and mesh-paneled upper. Reflective 3M piping in silver is applied on the heel, mudguard and around the sides’ “N” logos. While a release date has not been confirmed as of yet, the NB 2002R could potentially launch later this month as part of New Balance’s annual “Grey Day” celebrations.

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
