The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack 'Ripstop Eclipse' (M2002RDO) is designed for the style-conscious adult male seeking a blend of retro aesthetics and modern comfort. Its key benefit lies in its distinctive, layered design that offers both visual appeal and durable wear, reminiscent of trail shoes. A potential caveat is the attention required for its mixed-material construction to maintain its appearance. This model merges elements of the New Balance 2002 and 860, featuring a ripstop base with jagged nubuck overlays, enhanced cushioning via ABZORB and N-ergy, and a rugged outsole for traction.

The Protection Pack is characterized by its deconstructed, layered upper design, featuring jagged-edged nubuck overlays on a ripstop base, giving it a more rugged and textured appearance compared to smoother iterations.
While they offer excellent cushioning (ABZORB, N-ergy) and are comfortable for walking and daily wear, they are primarily designed as lifestyle or fashion sneakers, not as specialized performance running shoes.
Ripstop material can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
The primary color is black, with layered accents of dark blue and gray nubuck, and a hint of goldish-tan ripstop visible on the heel counter.
The lugged outsole offers good traction, but the nubuck material is not inherently waterproof and may be susceptible to water damage or staining. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Eclipse was released on September 21, 2023, with a retail price of $160.

Adjust the cord laces using the lock mechanism for a personalized fit. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove light dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialist nubuck cleaner and test on a small area first.
Clean the lugs and grooves of the rubber outsole to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be hindering grip.
