New Balance 2002R “Protection Pack – Phantom”

New Balance 2002R Protection Pack “Phantom”
🌑 Refined chaos in every layer
🧩 Crafted imperfection, perfected

Originally released in August 2021 and revived again in 2024, the 2002R “Phantom” stands as one of the most sought-after entries in New Balance’s acclaimed Protection Pack. Designed to embrace the beauty of controlled deconstruction, it delivers a moody, textural experience from every angle.

The upper combines charcoal-toned mesh with jagged suede overlays, each panel intentionally unfinished to emphasize wear, time, and tactility. A black N-ergy midsole and tonal outsole round out the design, bringing comfort and rugged cohesion to its utilitarian visual language.

🔹 Deconstructed aesthetic = raw, real, future-worn
🔹 Monochrome palette = versatile and elevated
🔹 N-ergy midsole = all-day comfort, responsive ride

The 2002R “Phantom” continues to define what modern heritage looks like—gritty, ghosted, and impossible to overlook.
