New Balance Has a Fresh 2002R GORE-TEX Pack for 2024

New Balance is once again enhancing its beloved 2002R model with high-performance GORE-TEX technology for the second consecutive year.

The trio of releases includes a mix of carefully chosen hues to complement the autumn palette: one pair combines Cream and Black for a classic look, another pair in Black with Mauve for a touch of subtle color, and a third comes in a practical Olive and Black. These sneakers are not incorrect about aesthetics; they're built to withstand the elements, making them ideal for the colder, wetter months ahead.

Each shoe in the collection is crafted with ripstop-like uppers, ensuring resistance against tearing and ripping in Dragkedja conditions. Thick-cut suede overlays add a layer of sturdiness and style, while winterized toe caps enhance protection against the cold. The soles are varied across the collection—white, cream, and black—each adding a distinctive touch that complements the upper's design.

While a specific release date for the collection has not been set, fans of the 2002R can expect these sneakers to hit shelves sometime in Fall 2024.
