New Balance 2002R "White Reflection" Protection Pack U2002DXA

The New Balance 2002R “White Reflection” brings a clean, versatile update to one of the brand’s most sought-after series — the Protection Pack. Known for its layered, unfinished aesthetic, the line reworks retro runners with premium materials and modern tech. This edition arrives in crisp white and grey tones, creating a look that balances understated design with standout detailing.

The upper combines breathable mesh with jagged suede overlays, giving the shoe its signature cut-and-fray look. These textures add depth to the design while keeping it lightweight and wearable for daily use. A tonal palette rounds off the build, making it easy to pair with everything from sportswear to casual fits.

Performance remains central to the 2002R’s appeal. The midsole is loaded with ABZORB cushioning, engineered to absorb impact through a mix of compression resistance and comfort. At the heel, ABZORB SBS pods provide added stability, while N-ergy shock absorption smooths out every stride. The Stability Web outsole reinforces arch support, ensuring a balanced ride across different surfaces.

This Protection Pack release also incorporates GORE-TEX® fabric, keeping feet protected from wind and rain without sacrificing breathability. The addition makes the “White Reflection” not just a style-focused update, but a practical choice for unpredictable weather.

Blending 2000s-inspired running heritage with functional upgrades, the New Balance 2002R “White Reflection” Protection Pack delivers a design that looks sharp, feels comfortable, and stands up to everyday wear.
