The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Phantom delivers a deconstructed take on the classic 2002R silhouette, combining layered texture with a dark, understated palette. A charcoal mesh base forms the foundation, while tonal suede overlays with raw, unfinished edges create the rugged aesthetic that defines the Protection Pack series.
Underfoot, a black N-ergy cushioned midsole provides responsive comfort and impact absorption, paired with a matching outsole for a cohesive, monochromatic finish. The sculpted sole unit balances the distressed upper with dependable support and everyday wearability.
Originally released in August 2021 with a retail price of $150, the New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Phantom has returned in multiple restocks, including a re-release in 2024, continuing its popularity among fans of modern, layered sneaker design.
