FAQs
What is the primary material of the New Balance 2002R trainers?
The trainers feature an upper constructed from a mix of leather, suede, and mesh for a combination of durability, style, and breathability.
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
While they offer excellent comfort and support for daily wear and walking, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and not specifically for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used cautiously. Avoid excessive water.
What does ABZORB refer to in the midsole?
ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary technology that provides a blend of cushioning and compression resistance, absorbing impact and offering a responsive feel.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The materials used, particularly suede, are not ideal for prolonged exposure to wet conditions. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to dry them thoroughly if they do get damp.
What is the color scheme of this specific model?
This variant features a Concrete Gray color scheme, with accents of Cork Brown on the heel, collar, and tongue, and white details on the midsole and 'N' logo.
What is the recommended price for the New Balance 2002R?

Troubleshooting
Laces becoming worn or dirty
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Clean existing laces with mild soap and water.
Slight creasing on leather or suede
This is natural with wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage. Gentle conditioning may help maintain the material's suppleness.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
While ABZORB is durable, cushioning can diminish with extensive use. For significantly degraded performance, replacement may be necessary. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
