FAQs

What does 'Distressed' mean in the product name?

The 'Distressed' designation means the shoe has been intentionally treated with marks and smears to give it a pre-worn, vintage appearance right out of the box.

What materials are used in the New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Distressed?

The shoe features a construction mix of mesh for breathability and suede for durability and style.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While the 2002R line offers cushioning, this specific 'Protection Pack Distressed' model is primarily designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker, not for high-impact athletic performance like running.

How should I clean the distressed areas?

It's best to use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could further alter the intentional distressing or damage the materials.

What is the original release date and price?

This model was released on July 7, 2022, with an original retail price of $150.

Does the shoe come in other colors?

The provided information specifically details a white and gum color scheme. Other colorways may exist within the 2002R line.

What is the sizing like for this shoe?

The shoe is available in UK adult men's sizes. It is recommended to consult a New Balance size chart for accurate conversions if needed.

Troubleshooting

Uneven distress marks

The distressed marks are intentionally applied during manufacturing and are part of the shoe's design. Variations are normal.

Suede appears matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede material. Brush gently in one direction.

Laces feel too long/short

Adjust the lacing pattern or replace the laces with a preferred length and style.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Due to the distressed finish, avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap solution. Pat dry with a clean cloth.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials and color.
  • Material Care: Suede parts may benefit from a suede protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first). Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive water.
