The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Eclipse combines elements of the New Balance 2002 and the 860, lending an edgy design to the upper. Dressed in a stealthy colorway with hits of earth tones, this runner also has a bit of a trail shoe vibe. The Protection Pack Eclipse iteration features an upper with a base of black ripstop overlaid with jagged dark blue and gray nubuck, providing both style and structure. The heel counter is black, overlaid with goldish-tan ripstop and New Balance branding. Cord laces with a lock complete the rough and ready look. Experts appreciate its high-performance sole unit, with an ABZORB midsole boosted with N-ergy and SBS in the heel for enhanced cushioning. The black rubber outsole is ridged and lugged for traction. Released on September 21, 2023, for $160.
