Ever since it was brought back from the dead five years ago, the 2002R has been a tour de force, with must-cop colourway dropping after must-cop colourway. If you’re looking for a stealthy sneaker to add to your winter rotation, the upcoming New Balance 2002R “Black Cat” might just be what you’re searching for. Understated yet unique, make sure you read on to find out everything that you need to know.
Unlike at Jordan Brand, this New Balance trainer actually references the furry animal itself rather than Michael Jordan. Working on top of a breathable mesh base, it’s overlaid by panels and panels of leather and suede for an extremely premium finish. Everything is dipped in slick black and grey hues to keep everything low-key and high-hyped.
Underfoot, the midsole is infused with ABZORB technology for unbelievable amounts of comfort, and it’s finished with with a N-RGY outsole to keep you on your toes. While the 2002R has become more of a lifestyle shoe over the years, it offers incredible arch support, meaning you could, in theory, go for a jog in these.
Not much else is known about the New Balance 2002R “Black Cat” at this moment in time, but it’s expected to release within the coming weeks. Let us know if you’ll be going for these, and be sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
