New Balance 2002R (Protection Pack) – Deconstructed Precision in Phantom / Magnet

The New Balance 2002R (Protection Pack) in Phantom / Magnet brings a bold reimagining of early-2000s running heritage with a raw, unfinished aesthetic that has made the Protection Pack a modern icon. Based on the classic MR2002 silhouette, this version adds rugged overlays, distressed paneling, and premium materials for a design that fuses nostalgia with forward-thinking edge.

The upper combines durable suede and breathable mesh, delivering structure and airflow where it’s needed most. The layered, exposed-edge design gives the sneaker a handcrafted feel – a hallmark of the Protection Pack. Underfoot, you’ll find ABZORB midsole cushioning that reduces impact with a combination of foam and compression resistance. At the heel, ABZORB SBS pods provide enhanced stability and comfort, while N-ergy technology ensures responsive shock absorption. The Stability Web system adds extra arch support, giving your foot the reinforcement it needs throughout the day.
