New Balance 2002R Protection Pack – Violet

New Balance 2002R Protection Pack – Violet

blends futuristic edge with retro running heritage in a silhouette that’s both bold and effortless. Part of the sought-after Protection Pack, this sneaker embraces a rugged, deconstructed design language with jagged suede overlays, visible foam edges, and raw detail that makes each pair feel purposefully unfinished—yet fashion-forward.

Crafted in a deep violet and lavender colorway, the 2002R Violet sets the tone for fearless streetwear styling. The upper combines breathable mesh and premium distressed suede, layered in asymmetrical cuts to create a textured and multidimensional visual. Subtle branding is woven into the design with an embroidered “N” logo on the side and a lightly branded tongue, allowing the construction to do most of the talking.

Comfort-wise, the 2002R Violet features a dual-density midsole system equipped with ABZORB cushioning—a proprietary New Balance foam tech known for excellent impact absorption and arch support. A translucent heel clip provides additional structure, while the rugged rubber outsole offers traction that transitions easily between concrete, pavement, and light off-road use.

What you’ll feel wearing this sneaker is more than just comfort—it’s confidence. The way it hugs your foot and provides a steady stride speaks to New Balance’s legacy of performance, while the distressed upper says you know how to stand out. It’s perfect for daily wear, techwear enthusiasts, Y2K fashion fans, or anyone who wants a sneaker that doesn’t look like everything else on the street.

Whether you pair it with cargos, oversized hoodies, or even tapered trousers, the Protection Pack Violet turns an outfit into a statement. Every scuff and angle is intentional, making it a design that celebrates imperfection while delivering a high-quality, balanced ride underfoot.
