FAQs

What is the primary material of the New Balance 2002R Protection Pack?

The primary upper material is suede, complemented by a breathable mesh underlay.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they offer good cushioning and support, they are primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities rather than high-impact running.

How do I clean mud stains from the suede?

Allow mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a suede brush. For persistent stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.

What does 'Protection Pack' refer to in the product name?

The 'Protection Pack' refers to the deconstructed design aesthetic of the shoe, featuring layered materials that give it a rugged, yet refined appearance.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the suede offers some durability, it is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, and steps should be taken to protect them from excessive moisture.

What is the original release date and price of this model?

This specific model was first released in May of 2022 with a retail price of $150 USD.

Is this shoe considered unisex?

The product information specifies this variant as Men's shoes, though the style can be appreciated by all genders.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears worn or matted.

Use a suede brush to gently lift and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction consistently.

Shoes feel stiff initially.

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in naturally. The cushioning and materials will adapt to your foot shape over time.

Discoloration on the suede.

Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or direct sunlight. If minor marks occur, attempt to spot clean with a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces becoming frayed.

Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and material. New Balance offers replacement laces, or generic options are widely available.
