FAQs

What makes the 'Protection Pack' different from other 2002R models?

The 'Protection Pack' is characterized by its distinctive jagged-edge suede overlays, giving it a deconstructed and robust aesthetic compared to other variations of the 2002R.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the 2002R offers comfort and support, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. For dedicated running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
