Compared to the Protection Pack&#8217;s texture, the &#8220;Refined Future Pack&#8221; boasts a smoother, more refined finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A release date for the New Balance 2002R Mule &#8220;Refined Future Pack&#8221; hasn&#8217;t been disclosed, so stay tuned for more details and images in the coming weeks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elsewhere under the New Balance umbrella, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/03\/15\/new-balance-made-in-uk-991v2-blue-silver-release-date-price\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Balance 991v2 MiUK \u201cBlue Silver\u201d<\/a>.
