While the New Balance 2002R is inspired by classic runners and offers cushioning and impact protection, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear and light activities, not for intensive running.
For routine cleaning, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid water and harsh chemicals; if necessary, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
The 'Protection Pack' refers to the unique, raw-edged suede overlays that give the shoe a deconstructed, 'eroded' appearance, offering both style and enhanced durability.
Most users find the New Balance 2002R to fit true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to try them on or refer to New Balance's size guide if uncertain.
Due to the suede material, it's advisable to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can stain and become damaged when exposed to excessive moisture. A water and stain repellent spray designed for suede can offer some protection.
The New Balance 2002R 'Protection Pack - Rain Cloud' features a breathable mesh upper complemented by raw-edged suede overlays, with an exposed foam tongue for comfort and style.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
Prepare a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water. Use a soft cloth or brush to gently clean the mesh, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
Ensure the mesh upper is clean and free of debris. Remove insoles periodically to allow the interior of the shoe to air out, preventing moisture buildup.
Remove insoles and sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and on the insoles. Let it sit overnight, then shake out the excess. Ensure regular airing of the shoes.
These trainers require no special setup; simply slip them on and adjust the laces for a comfortable fit. They are highly compatible with casual and athleisure wear due to their versatile greyscale color and classic runner silhouette. For care, it's crucial to protect the raw-edged suede overlays. Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear to guard against water and stains. For cleaning, use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and revive the nap. For the mesh upper, a mild soap solution with a soft cloth can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the materials and overall structure of the shoe. Allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
