FAQs

What is the 'Protection Pack' moniker referring to?

The 'Protection Pack' refers to the deconstructed design aesthetic of these trainers, characterized by raw, ragged edges on the suede overlays, giving them a rugged and uniquely layered look.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

The New Balance 2002R trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle shoes for everyday wear and comfort. While they can handle light activity, they are not specialized for high-impact sports or performance running.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Avoid soaking the suede in water.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the trainers offer some protection, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a suede protector spray can help improve water resistance, but they are not waterproof.

What is the main color of the trainers?

The main color is grey, featuring a base of slate-colored mesh with light grey suede overlays. There are also subtle green accents, particularly visible in the product title and some detailing.

What size is the UK 13 mentioned in the title?

The UK 13 refers to the adult foot size in the United Kingdom sizing system for men.

Does this model come in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the New Balance 2002R series is available in various colorways and sizes. The 'Protection Pack' also exists in other subtle variations.

Troubleshooting

Suede edges snagging on clothing

Gently trim any excessively loose or frayed threads with small scissors, being careful not to cut into the main body of the suede. Ensure the shoes are brushed regularly to keep the nap tidy.

Discoloration on light-colored socks

This can sometimes occur with new dark suede or dyed materials. Ensure the shoes are properly treated with a suede protector. If the issue persists, a very light dusting of baby powder inside the shoe may help absorb excess dye before wear.

Loss of shape over time

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their original form. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and store them properly.

Suede appears flat or dull

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and texture. Brush in different directions to lift the fibers and bring back the material's vibrancy.
