Now, in a somewhat surprising move, New Balance looks to be dialing down all the bells and whistles, with the release of a basic black pair of 2002R.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing in the silhouette&#8217;s OG mesh-and-suede construction, the New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX &#8220;Black&#8221; is dressed in a mix of black and grey. Atop a black mesh upper, suede overlays in predominantly black cover the shoe; hits of grey are spotted at the tongue and heel tab, and also on the &#8220;N&#8221; logos on the lateral and medial sides. Underfoot, we are greeted with New Balance&#8217;s ABZORB and N-ERGY sole unit in the familiar white-and-grey color scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Do not, however, be fooled by the decidedly-muted look on this NB 2002R GORE-TEX &#8220;Black&#8221;. As its name indicates, GORE-TEX has been added to the shoe, making it a versatile all-weather pair. As a trusty everyday sneaker, this 2002R hits all the right spots.<\/p>\n<p>The New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX &#8220;Black&#8221; is already available in select countries for US$180, and will release on 10 February in Japan.
