New Balance’s chokehold on everything neutrally-shaded rolls on regardless of the season. In similar fashion, the New Balance 2002R has become a readily available proposition, a cooldown from the collaborative run it enjoyed shortly after its reintroduction.
The two arms collide with the New Balance 2002R “Incense,” seemingly put forth as a goes-with-anything sort of colorway that’ll meet daily wear year-round. While again, NB’s monopoly on everything grey means that there’s a ton of comparison points available for this shoe, it’s hard not to think of Teddy Santis’ New Balance 993 from Spring/Summer ’24. White outlines on the N logo at the quarter help distinguish and overall break up the palette, but the easy matching opportunities should hold up all the same.
An official NB.com launch for the New Balance 2002R “Incense” is likely coming in short order, but pairs are available early via Dick’s Sporting Goods. Sizes are, indeed, going fast, so check the “Where To Buy” links included below to pick up yours.
