FAQs
Is the BAPE x New Balance 2002R suitable for intense running?
While the 2002R series is based on running technology, this specific collaboration is intended primarily as a lifestyle sneaker.
How should I clean the camouflage textile parts?
Use a soft brush and a gentle, ph-neutral sneaker cleaning solution. Do not soak the shoes, as excessive moisture can damage the leather and the adhesives.
What is the sizing like for this model?
These trainers generally follow standard New Balance sizing; however, since it is a premium build, it is recommended to try them on for an accurate fit.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The materials are not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to use a reputable sneaker-safe water repellent spray to protect them from light rain.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Does the reflective material eventually wear off?
With normal wear and proper care, the reflective detailing should remain effective for the lifespan of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Gently rub the area with a dry, clean microfiber cloth or a specialized leather eraser to buff out light scuffs.
Reflective elements appearing dull
Wipe the reflective 'N' logo and shark detailing with a slightly damp cloth to remove any buildup of oils or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sneakers feature a mix of leather and textile materials, avoiding machine washing is essential. To keep your pair in top condition: use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust, and apply a premium leather cleaner specifically formulated for high-end sneakers. Ensure the shoes are stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent the camouflage print from fading over time. When pairing, the grey-silver colorway is highly compatible with denim, joggers, or technical trousers.
