New Balance collaborated with JJJJound, a fashion label, again to elevate the popular 2002R silhouette. Released in 2023, the New Balance 2002R x JJJJound Storm Blue colourway is a stylish homage to autumn and winter’s overcast skies. The inspiration is clear once you look at the upper, which is crafted from greyscale mesh and matching suede overlays. Dark blue accents at the forefoot and rear represent the bursts of blue you might see hiding in the skies throughout the chilly seasons. Each shoe features metallic silver reflective panels, making it easy to see you at night or during an overcast day. A black N logo appears on the sidewalls for a touch of stealth and pairs with a matching sock lining. The N-ERGY midsole will cushion every step, as it provides responsive shock absorption and elastic energy return at the heel. It’s a retro runner that belongs in your rotation.
