Looking as if it has been gnawed on with blisters of torn patches around the usual 2002R silhouette, it was a hit among New Balance aficionados and sneakerheads for its unique distress and tasteful neutral color combinations. So successful it was that NB had no choice but to bring back a second installation with bolder colorways that also flew off retail shelves.<\/p>\n<p>That was way back in May, and it seems like New Balance is gearing up for a third installation of this pack with a lilac and lavender purple colorway revealed by sample collector <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/woganwodeyang\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@woganwodeyang<\/a>. Retaining similar cut outs as its previous editions, dusty purple hues take over the hairy suede overlays while the underlying mesh is a pinker lilac. Subdued grays land on the quarters and toeboxes. Similarly, the tongue is in a similar granite gray that showcases an exposed-foam circle. Creamy white laces finish off the look.<\/p>\n<p>Release information, though sparse, are sure to land soon.
