The popularity of New Balance has risen sharply around 2022. It is impossible to imagine the streets without this brand anymore. The 2002R became very popular after the release of the 'Protection Pack' in 2021. Since then, New Balance has released multiple colorways on this model.
 
The 'Light Cream/Purple' colorway has a mesh base. The light cream colour can be seen on the mesh, on the laces and on the outsole. The overlays of the sneaker are made of suede and have a dark purple colour. This dark purple colour can also be seen on the 'N' on the side and on the midsole under the heel.
