Jared Ebanks 2020 saw an exhilarating return for the New Balance 2002R Deep Ocean Grey Slate Gr as the Boston-based brand seems to mirroring the same approach throughout 2022 with a set of collaborations and inline colorways of the 2010 released silhouette. This time around however, 2021’s highly touted “Protection Pack” is gracing the model after its sequel dropped earlier this year.
The third installment renders rugged navy blue suede overlays and dark grey trim atop prototypical black mesh construction with the matching black heel counter offering 1906D branded leather stitched tabs. The dim tonal spectrum of the model is livened with an aged cream midsole and metallic silver collar lining as the black NLOCK logo of the midfoot is accented in the presiding metallic and gold border. A speckled black 860v2 outsole and rust red “N-ERGY” branding placed amidst the khaki midsole rounds out the design elements for the latest installment in the “Protection Pack” series.
