New Balance dropped the “Refined Future” Pack, better known as the “Protection Pack” last year and the collective pack took off due to its new and jagged take on the New Balance 2002R and looks like more is on the way in 2022.
We get a look at two colorways, a “Blue Steel” colorway that features a slate blue mesh upper with jagged grey suede overlays throughout, giving off that deconstructed look. The New Balance N logo is seen in a lighter grey with slate blue trim while sitting on a white N-ERGY midsole with additional ABZORB SBS cushioning in the heel seen in cream. The second Navy colorway features a cerulean blue mesh upper with jagged navy blue suede overlays. The N logo is seen in black with silver trim while sitting on a white N-ERGY midsole with the ABZORB SBS cushioning in the heel seen in grey.
The New Balance 2002R “Protection Pack” is set to drop later this year via Newbalance.com and at select retailers for $150. Check out the photos below and for all the latest drop dates, head over to our Sneaker Release Dates page.
