New Balance 2002R

Suede: Fine natural leather with a brushed finish that features a soft feel and elegant look. It offers good breathability and high wearing comfort, while gradually adapting to the shape of the foot. The material is both durable and flexible, ensuring comfort in everyday use. Suede is the ideal choice for footwear where the emphasis is on style, comfort and timeless design.

Leather: A traditional natural material obtained by processing animal skins, valued in the shoe and haberdashery industry for its inimitable combination of durability, breathability and aesthetics. Thanks to its unique fibrous structure, the leather is able to adapt perfectly to the anatomy of the human body, ensuring high user comfort. It is a "living" material that breathes naturally, absorbs moisture and acquires a characteristic patina over time. Depending on the processing method (smooth leather, suede, nubuck), it offers different degrees of resistance to external influences and different surface textures.

Textile: Textile uppers are a lightweight and highly breathable upper construction solution that uses woven or knitted structures of natural and synthetic fibres. This type of upper is valued in the footwear industry for its extraordinary ability to adapt to the shape of the foot, minimising the formation of blisters and ensuring high user comfort. Thanks to the porous structure of the material, textile uppers allow for efficient heat and moisture dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining an optimal microclimate even under increased physical stress. In addition, modern textile processing technologies allow reinforcement zones to be integrated directly into the knit, achieving an ideal balance between stability and flexibility.

N-ergy cushioning: Cushioning technology that is designed for maximum shock absorption and running comfort. It uses materials that adapt to the movement of the foot and provide optimal cushioning with every step, improving stability and reducing fatigue during long runs or intense activity.

Rubber: It is one of the most widely used materials for the production of soles due to its high mechanical resistance and durability. The main advantage of rubber soles is their excellent grip (traction) on different types of surfaces, which minimises the risk of slipping. The material is naturally flexible, waterproof and effectively absorbs shocks during walking. Depending on the compound, the rubber can be either soft for better contact with the ground or hard for maximum abrasion resistance on rough terrain.

Ndurance®: A highly durable rubber compound developed by New Balance that is strategically placed in the areas of the sole with the greatest risk of wear. This technology has been designed to provide maximum durability even under extreme loads such as braking, rapid changes of direction or movement on abrasive surfaces (asphalt, concrete, tennis courts). Thanks to its specific formulation, it significantly extends the life of the entire shoe without negatively affecting the grip or flexibility of the sole. You will find Ndurance® especially in running, tennis and skate models where it is critically important that the sole does not wear out prematurely in the heel and toe area.
