The New Balance 2002R “Shoreline Blue” brings together cool coastal tones and classic design language. It’s understated but quietly layered, letting texture and contrast do the talking. Blue suede overlays dominate the upper, balanced by grey leather panels and khaki mesh beneath. It’s a subtle shift in tone, but each layer adds depth.
Reflective silver ‘N’ logos stay true to the OG look. A soft khaki midsole and dark brown outsole keep the colour palette grounded while giving the shoe all-season wearability.
Comfort isn’t compromised either. ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning take care of shock absorption and rebound, while the breathable upper handles long days on your feet. The outsole’s got grip, durability, and just enough flex for easy movement.
This one doesn’t shout. It just fits in—with denim, cargos, or whatever’s already in rotation. The 2002R “Shoreline Blue” slips effortlessly into everyday use, with a colourway that feels worn-in straight out of the box. For anyone chasing retro New Balance charm without going too bold, this is the pair that gets it right.
