New Balance 2002R Protection Pack - Mirage Gray - Suede - UK 6

The 'Protection Pack' is characterized by its deconstructed design, featuring raw, ragged edges on the suede overlays, giving it a unique, rugged aesthetic.

While they are a lifestyle runner silhouette, they are primarily designed for everyday comfort and style rather than high-performance athletic activities like running.

Gently brush the suede with a soft-bristled brush or suede eraser. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, and always test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

The primary color is 'Mirage Grey,' featuring a combination of slate-colored mesh and light grey suede overlays.

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as the material can be easily damaged or stained. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection for light moisture.

The 2002R model draws inspiration from classic New Balance designs, particularly referencing the M1300JP for its silhouette and overall aesthetic.

While this specific variant highlights suede, the 2002R model may feature other material combinations in different colorways or versions.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent dirt, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for this material.

Adjust the lacing to achieve a comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to the sizing guide if unsure.

Replace laces with a new pair of appropriate length and material. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.

Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions. Ensure the shoes are properly conditioned with a protective spray.
