New Balance 2002R Women's & Men's Black & Grey Distressed Retro Sneakers

Bold Black Layers. Raw-Edge Retro Character.

Give your casual rotation a distinctive edge with these New Balance 2002R sneakers in black and grey. Black mesh panels sit beneath textured, irregular-edged overlays, while contrasting grey sections trace the toe and heel. Pale outlines around the black N logos and a cream-toned midsole bring definition to the dark, deconstructed silhouette.

Details That Define the Look

• Black and grey palette: Strong tonal contrast makes the layered design stand out while remaining easy to coordinate.
• Distressed-style overlays: Uneven edges and textured surfaces create character around the toe, sides and heel.
• Contrasting branding: Pale-outlined N logos, small 2002R lettering and NB heel details complete the upper.
• Coordinated lace-up finish: Black laces balance the dark tongue, while a light collar lining adds contrast.
• Vintage-inspired sole: A sculpted cream-toned midsole meets a black patterned outsole for a defined retro profile.

Make Everyday Essentials More Interesting

Pair these women's and men's retro sneakers with washed black jeans and a white tee for a weekend record-store visit, or wear them with grey cargos and an oversized hoodie. The monochrome upper anchors the outfit, while the raw-edge layers and warm-toned sole add visual interest.
