FAQs

What makes the 'Protection Pack' special?

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

Are these shoes suitable for running?

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

How should I clean the suede material?

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.

What is the primary color of the shoe?

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

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

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.

What is the inspiration behind the 2002R model?

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

Are there different material options for this model?

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

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted

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

Shoe feels too tight or loose

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

Laces fraying or breaking

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

Colors bleed or stain

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