New Balance is back, and this time they’ve gone full soft-serve mode. Introducing the New Balance 2002R “Pastel Blue”.

This Foot Locker exclusive colorway looks like it was dipped in a baby shower. It rocks baby blue suede, smooth mesh panels, and off-white accents that scream “I’m too clean to crease.” Just when you think it’s done, the midsole sneaks in a hint of light pink, like strawberry ice cream hiding in your vanilla cone.

Of course, the 2002R doesn’t just look sweet—it’s built for comfort, too. With its signature ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning, you’re basically walking on frozen clouds. It might be all pastel, but the support is serious. So, whether you’re heading to brunch or just flexing at the farmer’s market, you’re set.

This limited New Balance sneaker releases June 5th in men’s sizing for $145 USD, exclusively at Foot Locker. So yes, you’ll have to fight through the “add to cart” battlefield like everyone else.

If your sneaker rotation needs some sugar, the New Balance 2002R Pastel Blue is your next sweet pick.
