Releasing as part of the ‘Protection Pack,’ the New Balance 2002R ‘Driftwood’ pairs a neutral color scheme with a distressed aesthetic. An understated tan finish is applied to the multi-layered upper, featuring a breathable mesh base with raw-edged suede paneling. In addition to a beige leather ‘N’ logo, branding elements include a ‘New Balance Running’ patch atop the exposed-foam tongue. Lightweight cushioning is provided by an ABZORB midsole, equipped with ABZORB SBS pods in the heel and a Stability Web outsole underfoot.
