The New Balance 2002R Navy Castlerock boasts a luxurious upper construction with mesh, shaggy suede, and leather in a dark-gray colorway.


The base of the Navy��Castlerock��New Balance 2002R features mesh in Castlerock with layers of premium leather and shaggy suede overlays in navy, Castlerock, and a darker-gray hue. The shaggy suede gives the sneaker a more rugged look than can be achieved with traditional suede. Although the padded tongue is crafted from mesh in Castelrock, the laces come in an off-white tone that matches the midsole. Thanks to the ABSORB and ABSORBS SBS heel cushioning, the sneaker protects against impact and offers stability. Rounding out the technical specs, the N-ergy sole works with the midsole and absorbs shock.


Our experts at Kicks Machine like that the sneaker draws inspiration from New Balance���s catalog, including the technical silhouettes from the running shoes of the 2000s.
