If your summer wardrobe needs a subtle flex, the New Balance 2002R “Burgundy” is coming to the rescue. Dressed in rich burgundy suede with shaggy charm, this sneaker feels like your favorite velvet robe.
Its breathable mesh base keeps things light, while the creamy midsole ensures comfort that lasts longer than your group chat arguments. Thanks to the N-ergy cushioning, these kicks aren’t just soft—they’re “walk-a-mile-for-fun” soft.
The iconic “N” logo and classic 2002R branding keep things rooted in New Balance tradition. Paired with neutral tones and smooth grey overlays, the color combo screams: “Yes, I care about style… but I also value arch support.”
This pair may not break necks, but it will earn nods of appreciation from fellow sneakerheads who know what’s good. It’s the ideal mix of understated and standout, kind of like your friend who always brings the best snacks to the party.
Dropping in Summer 2025, the New Balance 2002R “Burgundy” will retail for $145 USD and be available through NewBalance.com and select retailers.
