The New Balance 2002R has undergone some serious modifications recently; some with a GORE-TEX profile and others with an all-leather upper, but this 2002R Truffle keeps a traditional build of supple suede and mesh materials. From heel to toe, the panels indulge in a burgundy tone accompanied by contrasting parts in brown like the "N" logos midfoot, heel and forefoot overlays, and the eyestay. Further elevating its colour scheme is silver-coloured heel tabs and a cream N-ergy sole unit beneath the feet that gives a pre-aged look.
