The New Balance 2002R, initially a premium running silhouette, has seamlessly transitioned into a modern lifestyle staple. JJJJound, known for its minimalistic aesthetic, reimagines this early-2000s classic with its third collaboration, delivering a design that marries utility and understated style.

This iteration showcases a sleek black mesh and leather upper, exuding sophistication and durability. Subtle “Vintage Indigo” accents on the ABZORB heel pods and collar provide a refined contrast, while a GORE-TEX lining ensures all-weather functionality, making it perfect for tackling urban landscapes during colder months.

The collaboration emphasizes practicality without sacrificing premium craftsmanship, staying true to JJJJound’s philosophy of creating versatile, timeless pieces.

The JJJJound x New Balance 2002R Gore-Tex “Black/Vintage Indigo” will be available on January 7, 2025, exclusively through NewBalance.com. Offered in unisex sizing, these sneakers are priced at $190 USD.
