New Balance 2002
The wine has aged well, but it still doesn't compare to the New Balance 2002. They first came out in 2010 as a successor to the 2001 model, after which they took on many functional elements that were enhanced in the final version with a gel component on the heel, a more breathable upper and an overall more sporty look. Initial sales were not indicative of what was to come with the New Balance 2002R. But as the end of the decade approached, the dad shoe trend began to grow, and it's safe to say the rest is history.
The "R" was added to the 2002 number, definitively confirming the transition from performance to lifestyle, in which the sneaker excels, especially with its high comfort and great materials both outside and inside the shoe. We owe the look that is a symbol of the 20s urban sneaker to the creative director of NB Japanese division named Tetsuya Shono, who redefined the American streetwear aesthetic into a trend that currently rules the sidewalks. So get your sceptre and wear the New Balance 2002R.
Materials
Technology
GORE-TEX®
Upper
Suede: leather cut from the back, while the fibers remain on the surface, suede is less prone to damage than nubuck.
Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
Insole width
Regular D
Midsole
N-ergy cushioning: N-ergy cushioning is a technology developed by New Balance. It uses a responsive thermoplastic gel that provides excellent shock absorption and a flexible return, making it ideal for sports activities. Unlike traditional foam-based cushioning, N-ergy does not contain air cells, allowing for a quick return to its original state after compression. This technology provides a smooth transition from heel to midfoot and helps distribute shock effectively.
Sole
Ndurance®: Technology combines carbon fiber with rubber in the heel of the outsole for maximum durability and wear resistance.

Reference: M2002RXT
One of the coolest sneaker cult-brands ever, for which retro models there are people willing to camp outside stores. The brand was founded in 1905 and began to manufacture sneakers that were originally designed to improve shoe fit - a special design with three support points to provide greater balance and comfort in the shoe. Their model Tracster, from 1960, was the first professional running shoe and the model W320 was a running shoe designed especially for women only.
