The silhouette&#8217;s versatility allowed it to enjoy a luxurious revamp from the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/07\/07\/release-15-jul-auralee-x-new-balance-2002r-is-cheery-yet-minimalistic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">high end AURALEE<\/a> to a contemporary overhaul under the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/07\/04\/thisisneverthat-x-new-balance-2002r-release-date-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">street-cool thisisneverthat<\/a>. But beyond designer brands, New Balance also has a penchant for working with established retailers like <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/11\/30\/beams-new-balance-2002r-goretex-all-weather\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BEAMS<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/10\/21\/bodega-brings-hairy-suede-to-the-new-balance-9060-blue-grey-brown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bodega<\/a>, as well as smaller stores like <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/06\/28\/release-15-jul-first-collaboration-up-there-x-new-balance-2002r-backyard-legends\/\">Melbourne&#8217;s Up There<\/a>. And for good reason \u2014 the first-ever <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2022\/06\/28\/release-15-jul-first-collaboration-up-there-x-new-balance-2002r-backyard-legends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Up There x New Balance 2002R<\/a> was exclusive and desirable, so it&#8217;s no surprise that a sequel has been announced.<\/p>\n<p>While the first edition saw the 2002R swathed in an eggplant-reminiscent palette, this sequel veers the model into the burgundy-wine-on-white-sheets territory. A white mesh acts as a base while the burgundy red suede wrap around the the toecap and panels. White suede also intersect through the upper, effectively creating a pleasing contrast. Subtly, a yolky yellow makes an appearance on the heel. Similar to their previous workings, Up There makes their down under mark on the crossed tongue with a &#8220;New Balance AU&#8221; branding.<\/p>\n<p>This upcoming Up There x New Balance 2002R &#8220;Backyard Legends II&#8221; will be reaching Up There store soon.
