New Balance 2002R Protection Pack "Slate Grey" U200227R

The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Slate Grey is built for people who actually wear their trainers. It takes the familiar 2002R shape and roughs it up in the best way. Exposed edges. Premium textures. A finish that feels lived-in straight out of the box.

The upper mixes suede, mesh, and synthetic panels, all wrapped in muted grey tones. Nothing feels flashy. Everything feels intentional. The Protection Pack styling gives the shoe a deconstructed look that stands apart from standard colourways, while still staying easy to style. It pairs well with cargos, denim, or everyday tech fits.

Comfort is a big part of why the 2002R keeps its following. The ABZORB midsole absorbs impact through cushioning and compression resistance, helping reduce fatigue across long days. ABZORB SBS cushioning in the heel adds extra stability, especially on harder surfaces. N-ergy technology helps with shock absorption, keeping steps smooth and controlled.

Down below, the Stability Web outsole supports the arch and improves balance. GORE-TEX fabric adds weather protection, keeping feet dry in rain and wind without trapping heat. That’s a big win for UK conditions.
