FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a retro running design, the 2002R is primarily intended for casual, everyday lifestyle wear rather than intensive athletic performance.
How do I choose the right size?
The 2002R fits true to standard New Balance sizing. We recommend selecting your usual adult footwear size.
Can I wash these in a machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the trainers.
Does the pink color fade?
Like all dyed natural materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause minor color shifts over time. Proper storage is essential.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the 2002R series is designed for all adults, focusing on versatile styling that fits a broad range of preferences.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dust on suede
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove loose debris.
Minor scuff marks
Gently rub a suede eraser in a circular motion over the affected area.
Shoes feel tight initially
Ensure the tonal laces are adjusted to your preferred tension, but allow for a short break-in period as the natural suede conforms to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 2002R trainers remain in optimal condition, consider these steps:
- Initial Protection: Use a reputable suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before wearing them outside for the first time.
- Routine Maintenance: Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface dust and debris after each wear.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the delicate pink hues over time.
- Handling Stains: Do not use water or standard household soaps on suede. If a spill occurs, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth and consult a professional shoe cleaner for stubborn marks.
