New Balance 2002R 'Grey Indigo' M2002RHG

Official images reveal grey suede overlays throughout, but while the quarter panels opt for smooth texture, the toe and backtab feature hairy fabric. Small flashes of “Metallic Silver” leather jut out near the eyelets and forefoot, complemented by “Indigo” hits on the New Balance logo, heel, and cushioning portion of the midsole. Invisible as it may be, the only real intrigue worth calling out here lives on the tongue. A close-up look reveals embossed dots akin to Ostrich print, delivering a dash of premium-ness to the unassuming grayscale look. These also come with rope as opposed to flat laces, although that’s far from a defining quality.
