New Balance M2002RX3 GORE-TEX Size: 26.5cm Accessories: Shoe laces This product is a Japan-exclusive item, not sold online and only available at select New Balance stores. Featuring a functional "GORE-TEX" specification for all-weather performance! "NEW BALANCE" has combined its proud archives with modern technology to create a new standard, the "2002R." This hybrid model combines the heavy upper design of the flagship model "2002" that debuted in 2010 with the sole of the performance shoe "M860 V2," which boasts high shock absorption. While inheriting the design of the USA-made model, it achieves high cost performance by switching to Asian production. Its technical design, which embodies the Y2K mood, has gained immense support in Japan, even gaining recognition as "commuter sneakers" due to its versatility. This modern masterpiece has now gained all-weather functionality, impervious to rain and snow. While maintaining the silhouette, a "GORE-TEX" membrane with excellent waterproof and breathable properties is incorporated inside the upper. It keeps your feet dry even in bad weather, maintaining a comfortable fit. The color scheme consists of a modern and heavy black and dark gray. Within that calm tone, the vibrant yellow inserted into the brand logo adds a touch of contrast to the design. Furthermore, the shoelaces have been changed to a lace lock specification for quick on and off. This is truly a flawless pair that combines design and functionality at a high level.
