The New Balance 2002R Gore-Tex JJJJound Charcoal is part of the second collaboration between New Balance and JJJJound. This sneaker adapts the 2002R���s signature silhouette to a wintery environment with weatherproof design elements.


For example, although the upper is made of leather and mesh, it incorporates a Gore-Tex lining. This lining prevents water from entering the shoe while allowing the foot to breathe and stay warm. The sneaker���s colorway of charcoal and black speaks to its utilitarian roots. In terms of branding, the New Balance ���N��� in black leather graces the side panel and 2002R branding can be found near the heel. 'GORE-TEX' lettering in white ink is also printed above the 2002R branding.


Something our Kicks Machine experts like is the front lace-up system with an adjustable toggle. It allows the wearer to adapt the sneaker to his or her needs.
