The New Balance 2002R Black Gunmetal is a performance running shoe that blends technical innovation with a sleek, stealthy look. Its upper combines breathable mesh with suede and leather overlays, including suede accents on the heel and mudguard, delivering structure without adding weight. ABZORB SBS pods in the heel and an ABZORB midsole provide responsive cushioning and energy return, making it both comfortable and performance-ready.
The Gunmetal, Phantom, and Black colorway gives the shoe a sharp, monochromatic aesthetic, while the white midsole adds a striking contrast. Branding is subtle yet clear, with the New Balance "N" on the lateral panel and "2002R" on the mesh upper.
The New Balance 2002R Black Gunmetal was released on October 21, 2022, with a retail price of $140.
