FAQs

What are the primary materials used in the New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Eclipse?

The shoe features a base of black ripstop overlaid with layers of dark blue and gray nubuck. The heel counter has a ripstop backing, and the outsole is made of black rubber.

How does the cushioning system work?

The midsole is constructed with ABZORB technology, which provides excellent shock absorption, and is further boosted by N-ergy technology. The heel also incorporates SBS cushioning for enhanced comfort.

Is this shoe suitable for running or athletic training?

While it features performance-enhancing cushioning and traction, the 2002R Protection Pack is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. It is not intended for high-impact athletic training or competitive running.

How do I clean the nubuck parts of the shoe?

For nubuck, it is best to use a suede eraser or a specialized nubuck cleaner. Avoid getting the material excessively wet, and always brush gently with a soft brush afterwards.

What does 'Protection Pack' refer to in the shoe's name?

The 'Protection Pack' designation typically refers to a design iteration that features more robust overlays and a layered aesthetic, giving the shoe a more durable and visually protective appearance.

What is the purpose of the cord lace lock?

The cord lace lock allows for quick and easy adjustment of the laces, enabling a secure and personalized fit without the need for traditional knot-tying.

Are there other colorways available in the 2002R Protection Pack series?

Yes, while this guide focuses on the 'Eclipse' colorway, the 2002R Protection Pack series has been released in various other colorways, often featuring similar material constructions.

Troubleshooting

Lace lock not holding securely

Ensure the cord lace is threaded correctly through the lock mechanism. If the lace is frayed, it may need to be replaced for better grip.

Nubuck material appearing scuffed or dirty

Gently use a suede eraser or a specialized nubuck cleaner. Brush the material in one direction with a soft brush to restore its texture.

Discomfort during initial wear

The shoe may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit.
