FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While the 2002R is built on a performance running platform, this BAPE edition is primarily marketed as a lifestyle shoe due to the premium materials.

How should I clean the suede panels?

Use a dry suede brush to remove surface debris and a suede eraser for specific marks. Never use harsh household detergents.

Does the reflective material require special care?

Avoid scrubbing the reflective silver sections aggressively, as this can degrade the reflective coating over time.

How do these fit compared to standard trainers?

The New Balance 2002R typically fits true to size, but the suede and layered construction may feel slightly more structured than standard mesh runners.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is highly recommended to avoid wearing these in the rain, as water can cause permanent staining or water spotting on the suede overlays.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a soft-bristle brush in a circular motion to lift the suede fibers and restore the original texture.

Light dirt spots on textile

Gently spot clean with a damp, lint-free cloth using a mild sneaker-safe cleaning solution. Do not submerge.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive collaboration design with BAPE
  • High-quality suede and textile materials
  • Reflective detailing for increased visibility
  • Versatile grey colour scheme
  • Comfortable daily-wear silhouette

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and stains
  • Limited edition nature makes replacements difficult
  • Requires specialized cleaning products

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are lifestyle trainers, no technical setup is required. For best results, use a high-quality water repellent spray specifically designed for suede to protect the upper from light stains and moisture. Avoid machine washing or drying, as heat and excessive water can warp the materials and ruin the adhesive bonds. To clean, use a dry brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for light scuffs. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey tones from fading over time.
