New Balance 2002R Protection Pack - Grey - UK 5

The 'Protection Pack' refers to a series of 2002R models featuring a distinct, deconstructed look with rough, layered suede overlays, giving them a rugged yet stylish aesthetic.

For routine cleaning, use a soft-bristle brush or a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a purpose-made suede cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid water saturation.

While the 2002R features performance-oriented cushioning (ABZORB midsole) and traction (N-ergy outsole), it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for daily comfort and casual wear, not for high-intensity running or sports activities.

ABZORB is a New Balance proprietary foam blend that provides optimal cushioning and compression resistance, helping to absorb impact forces and deliver a comfortable ride.

N-ergy is a New Balance outsole technology that offers superior shock absorption and responsive cushioning, contributing to overall comfort and durability while providing reliable traction.

Yes, the 2002R Protection Pack series often comes in various colorways, but this specific M2002RDB model features a 'Dark Phantom Grey' colorway. Other variants might have different color options.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions, then brush.

While ABZORB and N-ergy are durable, over time, all cushioning can compress. Ensure you're not using them for activities beyond their intended use. For persistent issues, consider consulting a footwear specialist.

Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally to air dry. For persistent odor, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight before shaking it out.
