The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Dark Moss is part of the Protection Pack collection. Taking inspiration from New Balance’s MR2002 high-end running shoe from 2010, this silhouette features dark moss, grey, and black with a hint of yellow at the back heel. Its innovative ripstop base layer is both eye-catching and functional, being waterproof. Comfort is prioritized with an ABZORB midsole and ABZORB SBS heel that provide cushioning with every step. Branding is visible on the sides, top, and bottom of the tongue. These sneakers exude an earthy autumn vibe and come equipped with toggle laces. The standout tech features include a Stability Web in the outsole for arch support and a proprietary N-ergy outsole that absorbs shocks. The New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Dark Moss debuted on September 21, 2023, with a retail price of $160.
