Care & Maintenance Tips
To keep your New Balance 2002R looking fresh, we recommend using a soft-bristled suede brush to remove surface dirt. For the mesh sections, a damp cloth with mild detergent works wonders. Since these feature premium suede, applying a water-repellent spray before your first wear will help protect the "Phantom" finish from the elements.
Experience the perfect intersection of high-performance heritage and modern street style. The New Balance 2002R is more than just a sneaker—it's your new daily driver.
