I bought a brand new all-black 2002R on Rakuten a few years ago because I wanted one. The deciding factor for the purchase was the completely black "N" logo and upper part. ・I wore them about once or twice a year. ・Because they are made of leather, I didn't wear them in the summer, worrying about damage. ・I haven't used them on gravel roads or mountain climbing; I mostly wore them in commercial facilities. ・I always travel by car. ・Please rest assured that there are no stones stuck in the soles. I also own two other 2002R series shoes and wore them to match my casual clothes. My actual foot size is 27.5, but I wanted some extra room, so I chose size 28. I usually go shopping in Asics running shoes. I bought the 2002R only for when I go out to eat or hang out with friends. After returning home, I always cleaned the soles with a brush and rinsed them with a shower, then wiped off the moisture and dried them with a hairdryer. After cleaning, I stored them in a New Balance box. Production has ended, and the rarity value has increased, so I set the price accordingly. I haven't seen many listings in this condition. I will put the shoes in a New Balance box and then put that box in a cardboard box for shipping. This product is only listed on Mercari, so please be careful of fake websites. I don't have any pets. I don't smoke. I am not offering discounts or selling individual items. Please refrain from purchasing if you have a history of extremely delayed evaluations after receiving items. Instant purchase is OK. I will send an empty envelope to those whose evaluations include "failed to provide a receipt evaluation" (as a countermeasure against unscrupulous vendors who try to get away without providing a receipt evaluation).
