New Balance 2002R - Trainers - Suede - Grey - Green - UK 11.5

The 'Protection Pack' refers to the distinctive design element of raw, ragged edges on the suede overlays, giving the trainers a deconstructed and rugged appearance.

While the 2002R offers comfort and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday wear, not for high-impact athletic activities like serious running.

For the mesh, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the area and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Avoid soaking the entire shoe.

It is generally not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions, as moisture can stain and damage the suede material. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically for suede as a preventative measure.

The design draws inspiration from the classic New Balance M1300JP, incorporating its aesthetic into a modern lifestyle runner.

The 'Mirage Grey' colorway features a neutral palette with slate-colored mesh and light grey suede overlays, offering a versatile and understated look.

Ensure you are wearing the correct type of socks typically worn with trainers. If still uncomfortable, consider if a half-size up or down would be more appropriate, referencing New Balance's official size guide.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth, following the cleaner's instructions, and allow to air dry.

Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and material. Many shoe care retailers offer replacement laces.
