New Balance 2002R: The Retro Running Icon Everyone's Talking About

The New Balance 2002R has firmly established itself as a must-have in any streetwear wardrobe. Inspired by a running shoe originally released in 2010, it’s back on the scene in a revamped version that blends retro aesthetics with modern technology. The result? A hybrid sneaker that’s as stylish as it is high-performing, embraced by urban fashion lovers and comfort seekers alike.

With its dynamic silhouette and refined design, the 2002R ticks every box: a vintage running vibe that’s perfectly on-trend, a wide range of colourways, and a build that’s made for daily wear. Versatile and easy to style, it pairs effortlessly with straight-leg jeans, tracksuits or cargo trousers.

Why fall for the 2002R?

• ABZORB cushioning in the forefoot and heel for optimal shock absorption
• N-ergy technology in the sole for responsive rebound
• Breathable mesh upper with premium suede overlays for the perfect balance between style and airflow
• Retro-running design that’s both trendy and easy to incorporate into a modern wardrobe

Colourways & Limited Editions

At Courir, the 2002R comes in a wide selection of colourways: neutral tones (beige, grey, black) for a clean look, or bolder versions with colourful touches and metallic finishes. Limited editions drop regularly — the perfect chance to add a rare pair to your collection.

How to choose the right size?

The New Balance 2002R fits true to size. If you're between sizes or plan to wear them with thick socks, it's best to go half a size up for optimal comfort.
