New Balance 2002 Sneakers and Trainers | The Drop Date

The New Balance 2002

Designed by Andrew Nyssen in 2010, the New Balance 2002 is manufactured by New Balance in the United States. A new design of the New Balance 2002 model was released in 2020, 10 years after the original.
Since the quality of the 2002 improved so much, the sneaker became more expensive and popular. After 30 years, the running shoes were retailing for $250 instead of $100. At the height of the 'Dad Shoe' trend, the New Balance 2002 was known for its chunky design.

Tetsuya Shono, the creative director of New Balance's Japanese division, replaced the original sole with the N-ERGY sole in 2020. The N-ERGY sole provides enhanced comfort and shock absorption during physical activity. Foam and proprietary compounds make this sole more comfortable and supportive by relieving stress on the feet and joints.

Some of the best-known New Balance 2002R collaborations are with some of the biggest names in streetwear and fashion.
The New Balance 2002R x GANNI is one of the most popular in the sneaker's history, featuring a striking design with a green outsole.
Bryant Giles, an LA-based artist, also collaborated on the 2002R, placing his original art on an 'Olive Green' canvas using black, yellow, green and pink stitching.
Another immensely popular collab was between the brand and Joe Freshgoods, with the fresh 'Conversations Amongst Us' dropping in May 2022.
